Robbie the Pict, also known as Brian Robertson (1948-) is a Scottish campaigner and former Scottish Parliamentary candidate for the Highlands and Islands. ==Pictish Free State== Robertson gained exposure as the leader of the Micronation of the Pictish Free State, established in 1977 as a means of promoting awareness of the Pictish culture. He was also a leading figure in the ultimately successful campaign to abolish the toll on the Skye Bridge during which he argued that the legal paperwork for the tolls was incomplete, and that consequently the tolls themselves were illegal. The toll was finally abolished in 2004 after the government bought the bridge from its private owners.〔(Tolls abolished for Skye Bridge ), BBC News 21 December 2004〕 Robbie the Pict also appealed (unsuccessfully) to Prince Charles to help overturn the criminal convictions of those who had been prosecuted for refusing to pay the toll.〔(Anti-tolls veteran in prince plea ), BBC News 7 January 2009〕 The Pictish Free State was a micronation initiative started by Robbie the Pict in 1977. Apparently created to further knowledge of Pictish culture, Robertson started the project with one acre of his own land on the Isle of Skye. Since then the Pictish Free State has grown to over through supporters donations. Robbie, under 'Pictish High Commission' auspices, has in the past been in conflict with HM Government over his use of Pictish diplomatic registration plates and non-compliance with UK laws.〔http://www.highlanderweb.co.uk/robpict.htm〕
