I was curious if anyone knows if Turnberry castle is the birth place of the great Robert the Bruce. I have read many articles that contradict one another about this issue. I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you!

Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick, was born at Turnberry Castle, Ayrshire,or Lochmaben Castle in Annandale on 11th July 1274. The majority opinion points to Turnberry as being his birthplace.

Where is the source for his birthdate being on July 11, 1274? I have read many places that it was on the 21st of March 1274.
