Rob Roy MacGregor Statue Stirling Scotland

Tour Scotland Autumn video of the Rob Roy MacGregor Statue in Stirling. This Scottish statue commemorates the famous local outlaw and soldier Rob Roy MacGregor who lived at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th century. The MacGregor clan had a reputation for violence and lawlessness, and although Rob Roy initially settled down to raise cattle, he soon sought revenge for a perceived injustice and from there extended his activities to banditry and extortion against local landowners. He took part in the Jacobite uprisings of 1689, 1715 and 1719, fighting in the battles of Killiecrankie, Sheriffmuir and Glen Shiel.
