WikiTree has her as Jean "Countess Bute Marchioness" Stewart formerly Macrory, but Geni.com disputes this and indicates that her identity is uncertain and that she is erroneously listed by secondary sources as Jean. 		"Robert Bruce, eighth of the name, son of the preceding, was the first earl of Carrick. He was born in 1253. When a mere youth, in 1269, he went to the Holy Land, a companion of Prince Edward, afterwards King Edward I. of England. ... He died in the Holy Land in 1304 and was buried in the Abbey of Holmcultram, Cumberland. ... He married in 1271, Marjory, widow of Adam de Kilconcath who fell in the Holy Land in 1270; she was the only daughter of Neil, Earl of Carrick. She died in 1292" (Weeks, pp. 67-69). "The earldom of Carrick that the Countess Marjory held in her own right was one of the most ancient in the kingdom of Scotland. It added much to the already high distinction of the Bruce family, and the title Earl of Carrick was one of their most cherished possessions for generations. Issue of Robert Bruce, by his wife Marjory, Countess of Carrick..." (Weeks, p. 70). Robert De Brus,
Earl of Carrick
b. July 1243, Annandale, Dumfrieshire, Scotland

Robert De Brus and Marjorie, Countess of Carrick, had 5 sons: Robert the Bruce (below) was the eldest and became King of Scotland. Edward the Bruce became King of Ireland. "The three younger Bruce brothers Nigel, Thomas and Alexander were all captured and executed by the English" - Edward the Bruce - WikiPedia.

Margaret/Marjory,
Countess of Carrick
b. ca. 1252, Carrick, Ayrshire, Scotland
d. before 27 October 1292		 "Niel Carrick ... followed the example of his father in acts of piety, making liberal gifts to the monasteries of Crossramore, or Crossregal, and of Sandale in Kintyre. He was received under the protection of KingHenry III. in 1255 and the same year was appointed one of the regents of Scotland and guardian of Alexander III. and that monarch's queen. He died June 13, 1256. He married Margaret, daughter of Walter, High Steward of Scotland. His daughter Marjory (Carrick) de Kilconcath married the eighth Robert Bruce and, becoming Countess of Carrick in her own right, brought to her husband and transmitted to her descendants the earldom of Carrick. This matrimonial alliance of the Bruces with the house of the High Steward of Scotland was recalled several generations later when Marjory Bruce, daughter of King Robert Bruce, married Walter, the head of the house of Stewart of Scotland" (Weeks, pp. 265-266).
