Summary:
The Rob Roy Way is a Scottish long distance footpath that runs from Drymen to Pitlochry. The route crosses the Highland Boundary Fault, a geological fault where the Highlands meet the Lowlands. The way follows the tracks and paths used by Rob Roy Macgregor in the 17th and 18th centuries as he worked, fought, and lived the life of Scotland’s most notorious outlaw. Starting at Drymen, where it links with the West Highland Way, the route takes in Aberfoyle, Callander, Strathyre, Killin, Ardtalnaig, Aberfeldy before finishing at Pitlochry. The walk also passes alongside Loch Venachar, Loch Lubnaig and Loch Tay and past the hills of Ben Ledi, Ben Lawers and Ben Chonzie.
