Rob Roy MacGregor's Grave Elliott and Peggy McGrew took this photo while visiting the grave of Rob Roy McGregor, Balquhidder, near the head of Balquidder Glen, overlooking Loch Voil, Scotland. The folk hero and Robin Hood of the highlands, Rob Roy MacGregor lived most of his life in the Breadalbane area of the Trossachs. He was born near Loch Katrine, in 1671 and died in Balquhidder Glen in 1734. He became a legend during his own lifetime when his fictional biography was published by Daniel Defoe. The story was later embellished in the novel Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott, in the 19th century. Rob Roy became an outlaw when a dispute over money and cattle led him into a life of banditry and cattle rustling aimed at local landlords and nobility. Eventually, having taken up the Jacobite cause, supporting the Stewarts against the English Crown, the label of treason - and a price - was put on his head. Despite all this, Defoe's book, Highland Rogue, led to a Royal Pardon in 1726. Rob Roy spent the rest of his days in the tiny hamlet of Balquhidder. He died of old age and is buried among MacLarens and MacGregors in the graveyard of the Old Kirk.
The McGrew's are thought to be a sept of Clan MacGregor.
