Rob Roy's Grave

Robert Roy MacGregor was a famous Scottish folk hero and outlaw of the early 18th century.

Born in 1671 at Glengyle at the head of Loch Katrine he married Mary MacGregor of Comar, who was born at Leny Farm, Strathyre. Along with his father he joined the Jacobite rising led by 'Bonnie Dundee' to support the Stuart King James and was badly wounded at the Battle of Glen Shiel in 1719. At a time when cattle rustling and selling protection against theft was commonplace Rob Roy became a well-known and respected cattleman.

Due to the disappearance of his chief herder, with his money borrowed to increase his herd, Rob Roy defaulted on his loan and was branded an outlaw. His wife and family were evicted from their house at Inversnaid, which was then burned down.
His principal creditor, James Graham, 1st Duke of Montrose, seized his lands and Rob Roy waged a private blood feud against the duke until 1722, when he was forced to surrender. Later imprisoned, he was finally pardoned in 1727 and died in his house at Inverlochlarig Beg, Balquhidder, on 28 December 1734.

He is buried in Balquidder Church Yard alongside his wife and two of his sons.
