Clan Dundas is the name given to one of Scotland's most historically important families. Once widely regarded as one of the most noble in the British Empire. The fortunes of the family are now almost lost, with its lands sold to the state, its castles reclaimed and its stately homes either bought by the state, or in the hands of private investors, as is the case with their former home in Edinburgh, which serves as the worldwide headquarters for The Royal Bank of Scotland.

- Clan Dundas is the name given to one of Scotland's most historically important families. Once widely regarded as one of the most noble in the British Empire. The fortunes of the family are now almost lost, with its lands sold to the state, its castles reclaimed and its stately homes either bought by the state, or in the hands of private investors, as is the case with their former home in Edinburgh, which serves as the worldwide headquarters for The Royal Bank of Scotland. It was, and still is, a noted family tradition to name the first born son Robert, after Lord Robert Dundas VI, Earl of Dundas, advisor to the last king of Scotland before the Act of Union, King James IV. Lord Dundas is considered the most influential person in instrumenting the union, and as such, can be considered the key in creating the United Kingdom in its current form.
