Did you know that Robert Burns was ‘knighted’ in the Wee County within Clackmannan Tower in 1787? The reason he isn’t called Sir Robert today is that it wasn’t the king who knighted him, but Catherine Bruce, a descendent of Robert the Bruce.

A staunch Jacobite, she claimed to have a much greater right to bestow a knighthood than ‘some people’. By that she meant the Hanoverian monarch.

Lady Catherine knighted Burns at Clackmannan Tower in August 1787 with the sword of her illustrious ancestor.
