  Marriage Notes:

"Sir William (Dishington) married Elizabeth, sister (see Note below) of Robert Bruce, and seems to have had two sons, William, to whom came the lands of Ardross, and John, who received the lands of Longhermiston, and is styled by King Robert Bruce 'dilecto nepoti suo.' William, the elder, had charters by Robert Bruce (1306-1330), and David II (1330-1370), to the lands of Balglassie, Aberlemno, and Tollyquhondland in Forfarshire. He died c. 1360."

Note:

The author of the above extract confuses the generations here. Elizabeth was the daughter, not the sister, of King Robert Bruce. 'Nepos' may be translated as 'nephew' but also as 'grandson'.
