Alexander Robertson of Struan

[1] He was a student at the University of St Andrews, but left his studies to participate in the Jacobite rising of 1689 in the army of Viscount Dundee after receiving a commission from James II.

[1] Roberston remained at the Jacobite court, spending some time in the French Royal Army, before returning to Scotland in 1703 having obtained a remission.

In 1715, he led 500 of his clansmen in the Jacobite rising of that year and participated in the Battle of Sheriffmuir, but was captured for a second time in early 1716.

[1] He was present with Clan Robertson at the Battle of Prestonpans in September 1745, after which he seized the carriage and possessions of General Sir John Cope as a victory prize.

His nearest heir was Colonel Duncan Robertson of Drumachine, who was dispossessed as a Jacobite and whose son Alexander eventually received the estate in 1784.
