Tummel, Tay or Both?

The maps are anything but consistent. They also do not define the boundaries of the clan borders, I suppose back then that these things were arbitrary as skirmishes and forays in to neighbouring clan lands were inevitable. However this link may help you out a bit as the itinerary mentions places of importance to Robertsons.

Thanks Grizzly,
I appreciate the link and your reminder about blurry lines and skirmishes. I am staying in Pitlochry for a couple of days and want to get a feel for the land. I will be in Bruar and maybe Dunkeld. I also hope to see loch Tummel and Queens View. I am not sure if the Tay is part of the Robertson territory although I have seen some articles about the significance of the Dunkeld cathedral in Robertson history as well as references to St. Columba.

Be sure to make a stop at the House of Bruar! They have a lovely tearoom and serve a delightful lunch. I also try to pick up as many tattersall shirts when I'm there. They have very smart clothing items for both men and women.

Cheers,

Kyle: Is there a DVD of "Scotland's Clans" available for the U.S. market? Or, is it only available on YouTube? Thanks.

Yes, there is. Via Amazon (there's only one left in stock, but more are on their way), but not all the clans are featured; for what reason, I do not know.

Cheers,

Kyle: The DVD on Amazon is "Clans of Scotland". I own that one. It covers only 12 clans and, for example, does not include Clan Robertson. Robertson, and some others, appear to be available only via the web under the title "Scotland's Clans", also narrated by Paul Murton. For example, the episode on Clan Gordon may be seen at

and there are at least several others. I am hoping to get these in DVD format, if available. Thanks.

I've heard of House of Bruar and about the tea room. It sounds like a lovely place for tea and "deep pockets"! Checked the site, beautiful clothing and I can see why you like the tattersal shirts! If the weather is fine, I hope to find the trail leading to the Bruar Falls and explore them for a little while. Best, David.

Sounds wonderful! Enjoy!

Robertsons a very old clan and a common name in Scotland ,, as they werent too affected by the clearances. My maternal Gran was a robertson from the Shetlands, a prolific name in those parts.
