Donald ROBERTSON from Perth[shire?] (son of James ROBERTSON) married Agnes COUTTS from Banff[shire?] (dau of Peter COUTTS) marr 25 Dec 1754 in Rotterdam, according to the transcribed church records.
Donald ROBERTSON is probably partner in Robertson, Coutts & Co, merchants in Rotterdam.
The Coutts partner is one of the family who founded Coutts Bank; Agnes COUTTS must be related.
Does anyone know this ROBERTSON family?
I'm wondering if there is any connection between them and William ROBERTSON merchant in Rotterdam who was born in 1711 in Keith, Banffshire to Alexander ROBERTSON (latterly at Scotsmill, Boyndie and merchant in Portsoy - he was born abt1666) & Elspet LORIMER.

Interesting, my wife is in 8 generations a direct descendant of Donald Robertson and Agnes Coutts.
