Dear Sharron,
According to the charter which follows Sir Robert Bruce was still alive on 1 July 1547, because he is said to have reserved his own liferent interest in the land, as also that of his wife Mariote Bruce. Certainly the charter does not say that he is dead.
1 July 1547: Charter under the Great Seal of Scotland which confirmed possession of two bovates of the land of Airth, and other lands, to Alexander Bruce and his wife Jonete Levingstoun. Alexander is identified as the son and apparent heir of Robert Bruce of Airth, who had previously resigned these lands in favour of his son. Robert Bruce of Airth reserved his own liferent and that of his wife Mariote Bruce.
