Excerpt from The "Old Northwest" Genealogical Quarterly, Vol. 8: January 1905 Historians differ somewhat, and while some credit Sir Wil liam as the first member of the family to settle in Scotland, others credit members of the family who followed William Bruce, the Lion King of Scotland, settling themselves in Annandale between 1170 and 1180 A. D. However, let this remain as it may be. The several branches of the family are successfully traced through England and Scotland alike, as the reader will now take note. The names of Bruce and Douglas, two noble names that have been handed down to posterity, are interwoven through all the pages of history. Sir William Carlisle, of de Carlisle, the valiant supporter of King Robert Bruce, was rewarded for his bravery by receiving in marriage the hand of King Robert Bruce's favorite niece, Lady Margaret Bruce, in 1329. From the moment of the settlement of this great branch of the family in Scotland, they appear to have considered it their native kingdom, and to have been strenuous defenders of its race and liberties upon all occasions. Heroic bravery and sound discretion call them to conspicuous stations and lead them on from one eminence to another, until they receive the highest reward of their sovereign's approbation. Lord Carlyle of Torthorwald was raised to the dignity of a peer by James III, in 1470, for his gallantry exhibited in the suppression of the rebellion of the Earls of Douglas in 1455, and he took his seat as John, Lord Carlyle, in the Parliament holden at Edinburgh on May 6th, 1471, and on the 17th of February following was surnamed as Lord Torthorwald.
