Rob Roy
Rob Roy was baptised 7th of March 1671. He is a Scottish
outlaw, a folk hero and is sometimes called, "the Scottish Robin
Hood". His parents were Donald MacGregor and Margaret Campbell
MacGregor. When Rob was 18 he and his father joined the Jacobite
rising led by Viscount Dundee, to support the Stuart King James II.
Rob was deemed an outlaw when he borrowed a large sum of money to
increase his cattle herd. He entrusted the money to his chief
herder who disappeared and as a result, Rob lost the money and his
cattle and he defaulted on his loan. Rob died on the
28th of December 1734.
