| Notes |
- He served as gunnery officer of the battleship Tiger during the battle of Jutland, on 31 May– 1 June 1916, where the ship was badly damaged. Some blamed Tiger's poor performance on Bruce-Gardyne, and he was court martialled, but found not guilty. Many believed he was made a scapegoat and that the real problems lay elsewhere.
- (Research):Elizabeth Grace Ogilvy (1835-1913), daughter of Ogilvy of Inshewan and wife of James William Bruce-Gardyne (1832-1901), died in London. Their only son died before his father, and their only daughter was Mary Bruce-Gardyne, 12th of Middleton. On her death Middleton passed to her cousin, Captain Evan Bruce-Gardyne, who became 13th of Middleton, and father of Charles, 14th of Middleton, and Jock Bruce Gardyne MP, later Lord Gardyne of Middleton in the County of Angus.
