Personal Life
Robertson divorced his wife Judith Milne in 2009, after three years of marriage. They have no children.
In 2006 Robertson was accused of assault against a photographer in Stirling. Appearing in his defence was Dougray Scott, star of stage and screen - most notably for 'Twin Town' and Mission Impossible 2. Scott was quoted as saying "Iain Robertson was in front of me. I was taken aback slightly by the presence of this photographer being flanked by a police officer. He was to my mind being very aggressive in his attempts to take pictures of either myself or Iain. In my experience of paparazzi, and I've had lots of it, they usually say 'do you mind if I take your photograph, Mr Scott?'. I say 'go ahead', because they're going to anyway. All I saw when I left the shop was this camera thrust forward. Iain took his hat off to put in front of the lens, understandably. The photographer hadn't been polite about asking and Iain, my good friend, puts his hat in front of the lens to stop the rudeness. It lasted a couple of seconds and then Iain got into the van. He added: It would take an extraordinary imagination to call what I saw a punch.Clenching his fist, he said: A punch is a punch and a fist is this.Iain was upset, not angry.. Robertson was found innocent and the officer who brought the affair to court was dismissed for a different matter the following year.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“There is in him, hidden deep-down, a great instinctive artist, and hence the makings of an aristocrat. In his muddled way, held back by the manacles of his race and time, and his steps made uncertain by a guiding theory which too often eludes his own comprehension, he yet manages to produce works of unquestionable beauty and authority, and to interpret life in a manner that is poignant and illuminating.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
