Tour Scotland 4K early Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes music, North on the B846 route on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Highlands of Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. This is Clan Donnachaidh country meaning, children of Duncan, who were descended from the Celtic Earls of Atholl, who in turn were from a line of the kings of Dalriada. Stout Duncan was a minor landowner and clan chief in Highland Perthshire in the early 1300’s. Although the clan appears to have been loyal to the Bruce and Stewart royal dynasties, they also earned a reputation as raiders and feuders in medieval Scotland. The change of name can be dated to the fourth chief of Clann Dhonnchaidh, Robert Riabhach, Grizzled Duncanson. It was Robert who tracked down, and brought to justice, the murderers of King James I in 1437. The Robertsons were involved in both the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Uprisings. During the 18th and early 19th centuries the Robertson Chiefs refused to clear their fellow clansmen in favour of the more profitable sheep. Clan motto is Garg ‘n uair dhuisgear meaing fierce when roused. The other Clans who once lived in this area included the Clan MacDonald, Clan Menzies, Clan MacGregor, Clan MacDougall, Clan Cameron, Clan Robertson and Clan Stewart.
