Kilconquhar Castle was formerly owned by the Adams of Kilconquhar. Adam of Kilconquhar married Marjorie, Countess of Carrick to become the Earl of Carrick. Adam went to the Crusades with Prince Edward of England and died in Acre. His widow subsequently married Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale, who thus became Earl of Carrick and Lord of Kilconquhar. Their son was Robert the Bruce.〔Kilconquhar: A Hidden Gem by Jean Lindesay-Bethune 2011〕〔Kilconquhar Castle http://archive.org/stream/castellateddomes05macguoft#page/304/mode/2up〕
