[edit] Clan Name

It should be noted that numerous societies for the clan Robertson are instead now using Dhonnachaidh, and the article name should reflect this, including links to other pages and lists referring back. Robertson is viewed as being a 'friendly' name for the clan.--Inari 16:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chief(s)

Shouldn't there be a section/mention of the clan chief and past chiefs?--Bill Reid | Talk 08:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bedlay Castle

Respectfully, I have removed the section citing the purchase of Bedlay by 'the Robertsons' in 1642. Granted this was a unilateral act but please note that Bedlay castle was purchased by Archibald ROBERTON of Stainhall, third son of John ROBERTON, 9th Laird of Earnock. His son James Roberton became Lord Bedlay
