SIR WILLIAM BRUCE, of Baleaskie, a man of extraordinary parts, a steady loyalist, and a firm and constant friend of the royal family.

"He was," says Sir Robert Douglas, "too young to have been very active in the troublesome reign of King Charles I., but no gentleman in a private capacity contributed more to bring about the restoration of his son than Sir William. Being of a fine address, he found means to get acquainted with General Monk, to whom, 'tis said, that he painted the distress and distractions of our country, and the glory that would be acquired in restoring the royal family, in such lively colours, that the general at last opened his mind to him, and signified his inclination to serve the king; but that their measures were to be carried on with the utmost caution and secrecy. These joyful tidings Sir William had the honour to communicate to the king, the happy consequences thereof are so well known to every body, that we need insist no further on them here.

"The king did not fail to remember his faithful services, and immediately after his restoration, he appointed him clerk to the bills, anno 1660, a very beneficial office in those days."

Subsequently too, in consideration of his great taste and knowledge in architecture, he was made master of the king's works, and designed the stately palace of Holyrood House, as it now stands.

Sir William acquired the lands of Balcaskie, in Fife, and was created a BARONET by the title of Sir William Bruce, of Balcaskie, by his majesty's royal patent, to him and his heirs male, &c. dated 21st April, 1668.

But having acquired from the Earl of Morton the lands and barony of Kinross, he was ever after known by that title. He built a fine seat, which for magnificence, elegance, and the beauty of its architecture, is scarce to be paralleled in the kingdom.

He m. Mary, daughter of Sir James Halkett, bart. of Pifirrane, by whom he had several children, whereof only two came to maturity, viz.

JOHN (Sir), his heir.

Anne, who carried on the line of this family, of whom afterwards.

He m. secondly, Magdalene Scott, but by her he had no issue.

Sir William, some time before his death, made a settlement and entail of his estate (failing issue of his son's body) "to his daughter Anne, and the heirs male of her body," &c. &c. whosoever so succeeding

being obliged to carry the name and arms of Bruce, of Kinross.

He lived to a great age, died anno 1710, and was 8. by his son,

SIR JOHN BRUCE, 2nd Bart., of Kinross," also,” continues Douglas, "a man of parts, and as he had got a liberal education, was looked upon as one of the finest gentlemen in the kingdom, when he returned from his travels."

He m. Lady Christian Leslie, daughter of John, Duke of Rothes, dowager of James, Marquess of Montrose, but died without issue, when the baronetcy went to his cousin and beir male,
