EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the early Victorian era around 1846, showcases a proud Robertson Clansman donning the traditional Robertson Tartan. The Robertson tartan, with its distinctive red and blue design, has been worn by members of the Robertson clan for centuries, symbolizing their Scottish heritage and connection to the Highlands. The man in the image exudes an air of authority and tradition, clad in a kilt made from this iconic tartan fabric. His long, flowing hair is tied back with ribbons, and he wears a cravat and carries a cane, adding to his stately appearance. The image transports us back in time to the 1840s, an era of change and transition in Scotland, where the wearing of tartans was re-embraced and celebrated as a symbol of national pride. The Robertson Clan, one of the oldest and most distinguished clans in Scotland, traces its origins back to the 11th century. The name 'Robertson' is derived from the Gaelic 'Rob' meaning 'bright' and 'ert' meaning 'son of'. The clan's crest features a red hand holding a dagger, symbolizing strength and protection. This photograph, captured in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Robertson Clan and the Scottish Highlands. It serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the people and their heritage, and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
