Magnus and Eunice Williamson, Robert was born in The Manse on Eday, in Orkney but grew up (for the 1st time!) in Shetland. Island life was extremely agreeable and particularly free, especially the air, which sometimes arrived at 100 miles an hour!Music was Robert's first foray into performance learning piano, fiddle and acoustic guitar before settling for electric bass, playing rock n roll as a teenager - he still plays Bass and Guitar.Working with new and established Theatre companies in Edinburgh, often with a role in script development and always in collaboration, solo performance and tight ensemble casts honed skills transferable to the Screen.3 of Robert's screen works have attracted BAFTA award nominations with 1 winner.
