Items related to The Hunt for Rob Roy: The Man and the Myths
Rob Roy has been one of Scotlands most successful exports, famed for his skill at evading capture and daring exploits; but what of the real Robert MacGregor (1671-1734)? In this acclaimed biography, Stevenson shatters the popular image of a man unjustly oppressed who fights back and wins. The real Rob Roy was a fugitive debtor, never went into battle, and lost the only duel he ever fought - but his real struggle for survival was as remarkable as his mythical heroism.
