Edward Bruce Lands

Edward Bruce, to whom the Irish chiefs thus ” transferred their own right of royal dominion,” was the brother of the victorious King Robert of Scotland.   

 Brave and resolute, but reckless and imprudent, he had shared the toils and glories of his brother. Accepting the invitation, Edward Bruce landed either at Larne or at the Glendun river on 25th May, 1315.   Joined by O’Neill and other Irish chiefs, and also by many of the descendants of De Courcey’s early settlers
