Career
He was recognized as "Scotland"s Champion Fiddler". Born in Bressay and raised in Nesting, he was first introduced into the instrument by his neighbor Willie Hunter. He was first taught to play the instrument by Gideon Stove, and later on stopped playing traditional Shetland music, but proceeded with a more north-eastern Scottish style.
In 1969, the first Scottish Fiddle Championship took place.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he taught many pupils, teaching the more Scottish style of music, and not the Shetland style. Arthur Robertson died on February 6, 2000.
