Heroes Of Scotland - Rob Roy

Behind the Romance, A Simple Truth.

Romanticized by Sir Walter Scotts famous novel, lionized most recently by Hollywood and the magic of the big screen the story of Rob Roy has endured and is burned deep into Scotlands national legend.

Born Robert Roy Macgregor in 1671, he embarked upon the violent life of an outlaw after the Duke of Montrose seized his lands and his fortune in 1712. As the head of the Highland Scottish clan, he pursued his career as a bandit and the stories of his bravery and courage grew. Although they are largely unsubstantiated, tales abound of Rob Roys generosity to the poor and oppressed earned him a reputation as a latter day Robin Hood.

Featuring stunning action footage from the movie Chasing The Deer plus dramatic reconstructions and re-enactments, Rob Roy The True Story is a compelling look at the facts behind the legend.
