The Robertsons

by Iain Moncreiffe

This well research book is a history and genealogy of the Robertson Clan and includes copies of both the clan Tartan and the Hunting Tartan. Included is a map of Atholl, the Robertson homeland, and a copy of the personal arms of Robertson of Struan. This is the story of the beginning of the clan, the dispersal after the ’45, and the status of the clan today. Excellent as a reference copy as the publishers are well know for their research.

Reviews

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interest in genealogy drove me to find and purchase this book first published in 1954. As a Robertson by birth, I find the old family history interesting, Anyone else unless they were researching clan histories or Scotland's history or they were a Braveheart fan might not find it so very appealing! :)
