Broom, a farm in Cummertrees parish, Dumfriesshire. A field at it, called Bruce's Acres, is said to have been the scene of a severe repulse of Robert Bruce by the English, through the treachery of a blacksmith. A quantity of human bones and several swords were found not long ago in a neighbouring moss.
