Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Henry Alexander Robertson, Chancellor of Newton, memorial stained glass window on visit to St John's Church in Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. Henry was born on the 4th of September, 1841, and died on the 1st of April, 1915. The Robertson surname is especially common in Scotland, where Robert was a popular personal name and the name of three kings of Scotland, including King Robert the Bruce, born 1274, died 1329. Donnachaidh Reamhair, otherwise Duncan, a descendant of the Royal House of Duncan through the Celtic earls of Atholl, was the ancestor of the Clan Robertson which came to prominence in 1306 when Robert the Bruce was defeated at the Battle of Methven, near Perth, and fled into Atholl for protection. The Clan fought at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and Duncan's son was called Robert after the King. It is from him that the Robertson surname originates. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
