Summary

Rob Roy MacGregor & amp;rsquo;s name and reputation stride through late-17th- and early 18th-century Scottish history and he is probably the nation & amp;rsquo;s best-known historical figure next to Robert the Bruce, William Wallace and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Along with those three, Rob Roy & amp;rsquo;s portrayal in book and film has created a figure that does not really tally with the man that Nigel Tranter believes was much more than a mere Trossachs-based cattle thief, blackmailer, outlaw and protection racketeer. That he stole cattle, forced lairds to pay money to ensure their cattle were safe and lived on
