Here is a question for all you ancient history buffs out there.

I have been doing some research into the surname Rogerson and what I found out thus far is that Rogerson's did not belong to a Clan or Sept and were not Highlanders.

However, I would imagine that during the period of (1297-1305) and beyond that, perhaps we would have fought alongside these various Clans after William Wallace united the numerous Clans throughout Scotland (Johnston, Bruce, Armstrong, Ferguson and possibly Stewart) only in part to their position in relation to the Dumfries area.

Taken from the Scottish Tartan Authority (http://www.tartansauthority.com/Web/Site/home/home.asp), and written by Brian Wilton “Each clan had its own land-owning chief who leased it out to 'tacksmen' who then rented it to the tenant farmers within the clan. In return for this and the protection afforded by the Chief, the clansmen would pledge their allegiance and when called upon, would turn out to fight in the Chief's private army.”

Furthermore, I would think that many of the men of that period living on Scottish soil would have adopted the feleidh mhors long kilt or short kilt depending on the period.
