    The Bruce's Sword

    In today's Scotsman is a report on the sale of a sword blade believed to have belonged to the 14C Douglases for GBP11,000. The new buyer remains annonymous but is said to be a Douglas and to live in Britain, so the sword may just stay at home. http://www.scotsman.com/news/robert-...0-000-1-819220. The sword was actually sold in 2010, but this report updates with the info that it has remained with a Douglas family in the UK.
