Yes, the Bruce tartan, not of ancient origin, it must be admitted, is the one you refer to, and the yellow one I think is the McLeod of McLeod dress tartan, not that I am in any way an expert. The Bruce had a younger brother, Edward, who was invited to be King of All Ireland in about 1320. I know nothing about any other Bruces in Ireland, sorry.
