Tummel, Tay or Both?

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.

Gotcha. Hmmm...then I am not sure about the other series entitled, "Scotland's Clans." I've only watched it via Netflix. Pity the Macphersons aren't represented. Well, we already have our own clan DVD that was filmed back in 2006 and is very well done.

Cheers,

I am hoping that there will be a series 3 of Scotland's Clans in due course including Clan Robertson!

Paul Murton's fans will accept nothing less!

If you don't mind watching it off the web, eg on a large computer screen, there is a Clan Robertson episode narrated by Paul Murton at

It even has CC (closed captions), if you prefer.

Thanks, how did I miss it?

It would be great to get them all on DVD, but I suspect the producers are looking ahead to the demise of DVDs in favor of streaming. I'm increasingly using streaming as the technology improves and the content grows. My how the world changes!

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

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.

Enjoy,

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.

David: Both, of course! Just kidding.

I can't help you with geographic relevance/proximity, but I do own a Strathtummel kilt of Sthrathmore W60 tartan. It is beautiful. I bought it mostly for the purple/heather colors.

A good computer representation of both tartans may be seen at

If you click on any of the small tartan snaps, you will be shown a larger version. They all look remarkably close to the real tartan. Also, Strathmore has a five-pack of swatches of these tartans and I'm sure would be glad to send you one.

Good luck on your search and selection.

John:

It seems Mr. Mookien that you're right! It's Tummel and Tay! Thank you for your thoughts, the link and the sense of humour. I wonder if you will post a pic of the Strathtummel kilt? It would be great to see it! I have a swatch of it. And yes, it's very nice.
Thanks!

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.
