Blair Atholl - Robertson clan museum

Took a 3 hour bus ride to visit the home of Clan Donnachaidh (in Gaelic, children of Duncan - this was from before families kept a fixed last name, instead called by "[name], son of X, grandson of Y", Robertson is the main last name now). It was a tiny one-room museum with a connected little shop selling kitschy little clan-related souvenirs, but still lots of interesting stuff seeing as it's directly related to my ancestry. There's even a DNA mapping project.
This trip also gave me a nice chance to see some Scottish countryside. Could almost be NZ, besides the occasional Victorian-style house (pic 6) and the towns (many old buildings that look very similar to those in Edinburgh, Victorian style all made of the sand grey stone).Read more
