About Clan Reid

Reid is one of the principal names associated with Clan Robertson (Clan Donnachaidh) of Highland Perthshire, listed alongside Robertson and Duncan as core surnames of the clan. The clan is named from Donnchadh Reamhar, 'Stout Duncan', its first recognised chief, and the name Robertson from Robert Riabhach, 4th chief, rewarded by James II with the barony of Struan. Reid, like many associated sept names, does not represent a separate landed clan; families bearing the name are traditionally regarded as part of the wider Donnachaidh kindred
