Rob Roy

Rob Roy MacGregor was born in the mid 1650's the second son of Donald MacGregor at Inverlochaig at the head of Loch Doine. His name is derived from the Gaelic Raibert Ruadh, or Red Robert, because he had red hair, which darkened as he grew older. His life as an outlaw started when he was unable to repay money that he had borrowed form the Duke of Montrose to fund his growing cattle trade. The Duke seized his lands and property and Rob Roy fled with his debt unpaid.

From this time onwards Rob Roy and the followers he had gathered, at one time as many as 500 men, profited from raiding lands of the Duke and those of his neighbours. Though he relieved many of their property it is said that he was never brutal or cruel with his victims and never stole from the common man, there was after all no profit from robbing a poor man. His success allowed him to send each year a cow and a fat sheep to the minister of Balquidder who in turn made no enquiries about the source of his wealth. It was during this time that the Duke of Montrose captured Rob Roy but he made a famous escape, with the aid of a friend in the employ of the Duke at the ford in the river near Balquidder. Rob Roy married Mary Helen McGregor of Comar in Glenarklet in January 1693, and there is recorded proof of them having four sons. They were James, Ranaid, Robert, and Duncan, the latter being a cousin whom they adopted. Rob Roy died in his home in 1734 and was buried in the small churchyard in Balquidder.As you can see I have a few pictures of where Rob Roy is said to be buried at Balquidder and  pics of the Rob Roy's leap (waterfall pic i have on here )
