Any help would be appreciated. And in Strathmore woolen terms, would the more suitable kilt be the Strathtummel or the Strathtay, or both?

    Thanks everyone who knows and can help. It's just that the maps I've been looking at are a little unclear.

    With appreciation.

    My wife is descended from the Robertsons of Struan and her family emigrated from Perthshire, specifcally from the area surrounding Pitlochry to Grandtully and as far south as Dunkeld. I would venture to guess that whatever the present Robertson of Struan says are traditional Clan Donnachie lands, then that is your answer.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Kyle, I hope to be at the Donnachie museum in a couple of weeks where I expect to learn lots! And the the video is really helpful, some really nice shots of the land. Much appreciation. David
