When Bob Kane created Batman's alter ego, he used the inspiration of "Mad Anthony" Wayne and Robert the Bruce to create "Bruce Wayne."
In "Batman: The Scottish Connection" (a fairly recent small graphic novel, 1998) it is claimed that Bruce is descended from a crusader Scottish-Norman knight "Sir Gaweune De Weyne, knight of the Scottish court" and Clan MacDubh, on his mother's side.
Batman also goes to Scotland in "Legacy of the Bat" no. 54 (Sept. 96), as part of the "Legacy" story line.
