Rob Roy Way

by: Jacquetta Megarry
The Rob Roy Way is a popular week-long walk which runs for 79 miles between Drymen and Pitlochry in the highlands, passing some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens. It uses forest and moorland tracks, footpaths, part of a cycle route and some minor roads. Much of the Way has links with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734).
