Robertson a.k.a. Duncan

3 Celts & Company • "ROBERTSON"

Their first chief Duncan, from whom the numerous Robertsons take their alternative name Clan Donnachaidh or Donnachie, was friend and ally of King Robert Bruce, and tradition had him a son of the Angus Mor mentioned under the MacDonalds. The clan remained ever active and loyal to the Stewarts, and took the new name from their chief Robert (himself named after Bruce), to commemorate his capturing the murderers of James I in 1437. From The name of their ancient seat in Atholl the Chiefs retain the style Struan Robertson, but branches became distributed widely in Scotland and indeed throughout the world.
