The Warrior
Rob Roy MacGregor is one of Scotland’s most enduring figures — a Highland outlaw, clan leader and folk hero whose story sits somewhere between fact and legend. Born in 1671, he lived through a time when the MacGregor name was outlawed, yet he refused to be silenced. Known for his courage, cunning and fierce loyalty, Rob Roy became a symbol of resistance and Highland pride — a man who stood for his people when it mattered most.
The MacGregor Story
This is where the story gets real. Rob Roy wasn’t some romanticised figure from a dusty book — he was flesh and blood, moving cattle through these glens, dealing in whisky, navigating debt, betrayal and survival. When fortunes turned against him, he didn’t disappear — he adapted. He fought, he negotiated, he outwitted. To some he was a rogue, to others a protector — but always, he was MacGregor. His life unfolded against a backdrop of shifting power, Jacobite tension and a Highlands under pressure, and yet his name endured when it was meant to be erased. That’s why we still tell his story. Because it’s not just history — it’s identity. It’s resilience. It’s the true spirit of the Highlands, alive in every tune, every dram, and every gathering under this roof.
