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:
“Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth. Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting of the sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Mothers who are strong people, who can pursue a life of their own when it is time to let their children go, empower their children of either gender to feel free and whole. But weak women, women who feel and act like victims of something or other, may make their children feel responsible for taking care of them, and they can carry their children down with them.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
