    • Biography

      Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland was born in 1292, the son of James Stewart, 5th High Steward of Scotland and Gille de Burgh. He married Alice Erskine, daughter of Sir John Erskine, before 1315. Considered doubtful by most authorities. He married Margorie Bruce, Princess of Scotland, daughter of Robert I Bruce, King of Scotland and Isabella of Mar, in 1315. He married, Isabella Graham, daughter of Sir John Graham of Abercorn and Mary of Strathearn. He died on 9 April 1327.

      Birth

      The location of his birth has been suggested as: Rosyth Castle in Fife which was a Stewart stronghold or at Dundonald Castle, Kyle, Ayrshire, Scotland, Scotland. The latter is not possible as that fortification was built for Walter's son Robert II on his ascension to the throne in 1371.

      Most sources agree that Walter was born about 1292/3.
