- (continued from previous page)"Bruce" gives the people an opportunity of introducing this Scottish name; but the most general story is, the word Bruis or (brughas) means a castle and that there lived there a very rich man named Damer who had land for miles round. He having a larger residence two miles north "as the crow flies" built this castle as an alternative place of residence, especially for summer months.
