Midfielder Sophie Rutherford is the third player to join Motherwell on loan from SWPL rivals Rangers this summer.
Robertson will link up with Mia McArthur and Saoirse Coyle-Morrow at the North Lanarkshire club, who have also signed Ellie MacDonald after her Queen's Park exit.
Rutherford and MacDonald were team-mates at Queen's Park in SWPL2 last season.
Lucy Sinclair has returned to the club after a stint at Partick Thistle, while teenage defender Olivia McStay has arrived from Hamilton Academical.
"Sophie has already gained a strong level of senior experience, and we felt that she was more than ready to make the step into the top-flight," said head coach Iain Robinson.
