Synopsis:
Rob Roy Macgregor, Scotland's most romantic, elusive hero, was an outlaw and a life-long enemy of Montrose. So well-known was he that no one thought to write down a physical description of him, or any direct record of his childhood and youth. Thus tracking down Rob Roy today is to embark upon a search through archives, estate records and folk myths, enriched and confused by the romantic yarns that have grown up around him. This book brings together new interpretations of Rob Roy's life and times to produce an understanding of the character, actions and motives of a man who became a myth and symbol of Scotland. The author shows that Rob Roy's renown stems from his remarkable force of character, rather than his politics or his place in the writings of Sir Walter Scott. His political mission outwardly failed, but his extraordinary resolution in adversity has earned him his place in history and legend. W.H. Murray is the author of "The Story of Everest", "Maelstrom" and "The Islands of Western Scotland".
About the Author:

His awards include an honorary doctorate from the University ofStirling (1975), the OBE (1966), and the Mungo Park Medal of the RSGS(1950), the latter for exploratory travel in the central Himalaya.
