    "The Bruce Trilogy" by Nigel Tranter

    I have that trilogy also, it is most excellent. I've enjoyed many of his books. His idea's on The Stone of Scone are pretty interesting aswell.

    I have never read any of the late Mr Tranter's work but I did see him on a few documentaries before his passing. He was a brilliant scholar.
    I wouod love to read his books.

    Here’s another Tranter fan. I read his Robert the Bruce books and the one about the Stone of Scone many years back, but just recently I read a contemporary (contemporary in 1946, that is)one set in the vicinity of Kingussie.

    I am reading "The Temple And The Stone" by Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris. Although it is a work of fiction it does involve the crowning of Robert Bruce.
