Home | Walking Holidays | Scotland | Rob Roy Way

The Rob Roy Way encompasses many of the places linked with the now legendary Scottish outlaw and folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor, who lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The 79 mile trail begins in Drymen, on the southeastern edge of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, and journeys north through the picturesque landscapes of Stirlingshire and Perthshire, finishing in the vibrant town of Pitlochry.

Embarking on the Rob Roy Way, walkers are immersed in the tranquil woodlands of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, where the richness of Scotland’s flora and fauna immediately becomes apparent. As you thread your way through the wild expanse of the Trossachs, a rugged beauty unfolds, reminiscent of the untamed nature that once provided cover for Rob Roy’s daring endeavours. The splendour of the trail continues with the dramatic landscapes surrounding Loch Tay.

In addition to the stunning wilderness, the route passes through charming villages and historic sites, including the atmospheric ruins of the 16th-century Balquhidder Kirk, where Rob Roy MacGregor is laid to rest.

Celebrated for its blend of natural beauty and historical resonance, the Rob Roy Way invites adventurers to walk in the footsteps of a legend. Each step weaving together a narrative of rugged landscapes, serene lochs, and the indomitable spirit of the Scottish Highlands.
