BREN, all three are simply based on the name ‘Robert’. Robison/Robeson/Robertson/Robinson are the written forms used by all Robert's progeny, whomever that Robert might have been; without a lot more genealogy you won’t be able to officially connect yourself with any particular clan and certainly not with a Highland one. There was a family of Robertsons at Struan in Perthshire. They are often referred to as the Clan Donnachaidh in recognition of a Duncan ancestor who was pretty important. The chief of the name now lives in the south of England. Today most folk with the name Robeson/Robison/Robertson/Robinson settle on this connection in lieu of attempting the near-impossible task of proving another. Nice tartan; wear it if you wish.
