Robin bruce lockhart5/10/2023 In his book Dragon Days (2013), James Bruce Lockhart sums up the family character when he arrived at the Dragon School in 1949: "The Bruce Lockhart family were schoolmasters, imperial soldiers, and diplomats, they taught, directed, and administered and they played games in their spare time muscular Christianity was their thing." Family members However, by the use of the name by almost all the men of the family, and later by all its daughters, too, the name Bruce has come to be regarded as part of the surname, in some cases leading to the adoption of a hyphen. For Lockhart, the name Bruce was a middle Christian name, celebrating distinguished ancestors, and most of his sons also had it as a middle name, their surname as registered at the General Register Office remaining simply Lockhart. In 1895 he founded Seafield House Preparatory School at Broughty Ferry, and in 1906 bought Eagle House School, at Sandhurst, Berkshire. Lockhart was headmaster of several schools: first the Waid Academy, at Anstruther, then Spier's School, Beith, a new school.
