Clan Robertson

Virtutis gloria merces (Glory is the reward of valour)

The Robertsons are also known as Clan Donnachaidh, the 'Children of Duncan', a Perthshire clan whose lands lay in Struan and Rannoch. On 15 August 1451 James II rewarded the fourth chief, Robert Riabhach, for capturing the assassins of James I: his lands were erected into the free barony of Struan, and the clan crest of a right hand holding an imperial crown commemorates the deed.
