Rob Roy Macgregor: His Life And Times (Canongate)

Rob Roy MacGregor, Scotland's most romantic, elusive hero, was anoutlaw and a life-long enemy of Montrose. So well-known was he that noone thought to write down a physical description of him, or any directrecord of his childhood and youth. Thus, tracking down Rob Roy today isto embark upon a painstaking search through archives, estate recordsand folk myths, enriched and confused by the romantic yarns that havegrown up around him.W.H. Murray brings togethernew interpretations of Rob Roy's life and times to produce a newunderstanding of the character, actions and motives of a man who becamea myth and symbol of Scotland. Murray shows that Rob Roy's renown stemsfrom his remarkable force of character, rather than his politics or hisplace in the writings of Sir Walter Scott. His political missionoutwardly failed, but his extraordinary resolution in adversity hasearned him his place in history and legend.
