A Brief History of Clan Robertson

The Robertson clan motto is "Virtutis gloria merces" (Glory is the reward of valour). Those who bear the name Robertson belong to the Donnachaidh Clan. The clan’s territory is central Perthshire.

The first recognised Chief of the clan was Donnachadh Reamhair, known as "Stout Duncan", who led the clan in support of Robert the Bruce during the wars of Scottish Independence leading to Bruce's historic triumph at Bannockburn in 1314 over Edward II's army.

The most valuable clan artefact, the stone of the clan, known as the "Clach na Brataich" or "ensign stone", was discovered in the ground on the clan's march Bannockburn. From that point forward, it was held by all chiefs when leading the clan to battle.

The Robertson tartan has a variation for every occasion. The Hunting versions predominantly feature jewel toned greens and blues with white and red whereas the Modern versions feature bold red as its main colour.
