It is hard to get close to Bruce's personality; Barbour's account is vivid but over-emphasises the chivalric qualities of the fourteenth-century ruling classes. Religious devotion played an important part in Bruce's life, if in a conventional way; he showed especial fondness for the cults of Sts Fillan, Andrew, Cuthbert and Thomas Becket (to whom Arbroath Abbey was dedicated). A domestic side of Bruce's character emerges in his decision to build a manor house with garden and park at Cardross on the Firth of Clyde, but he had only three years to enjoy it before his death there in 1329.
