Family

The MacRobb family is a Scottish family with historical roots that trace back to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands. While not recognized as a formal clan in its own right, the MacRobb family has a distinct identity and heritage within Scottish history. The name ‘MacRobb’ is derived from the Gaelic ‘Mac Roibeirt,’ meaning ‘son of Robert.’ This patronymic formation was common in Scottish naming practices, reflecting the father’s first name as a way to denote lineage and family connections.

Historically, the MacRobbs were known for their resilience and adaptability, characteristics shaped by the challenging environments of their native Highlands. They were primarily involved in agriculture and cattle rearing, typical of many Highland families, which required a deep understanding of the land and natural resources. Over the centuries, members of the MacRobb family spread across Scotland and beyond, contributing to various facets of society while maintaining a strong sense of family unity and pride in their heritage.
