About the trail

The Rob Roy Way travels 78 miles, crossing the southern Scottish Highlands from Drymen to Pitlochry. The trail follows old tracks besides rivers and lochs, through a series of charming glens and over passes which provide wonderful views of the surrounding mountains.

These are the places where the eponymous Rob Roy McGregor, Scotland's most famous outlaw, and his clansmen were active. As well as the tales of Rob Roy’s adventures to uncover, there is a wide range of other historic sites to discover along the route, including prehistoric stone circles, military roads and the ruins of multiple crofts, shielings and mort-safes, all adding to the intrigue of this scenic walk.

Customer reviews from the Rob Roy Way

“This was our third walking holiday in the UK and the third with Contours. We have been very happy with the service that Contours has provided and that is why we will book with Contours again for our next walking holiday.”
Ms Knott, USA
“Wonderful countryside. Not crowded. Accommodations were excellent. Baggage transfer was flawless. Most of the walk was on trails or paths, not motorways. Hosts were most helpful and accommodating.”
Mr Crocker, USA
“I am very happy about my walking tour and I think it was well organised by you. Most of the accommodations were good or excellent with only one exception. The documentation you sent me to my first hotel was all I needed for my walks. Whenever I arrived at you new place, my suitcase was waiting for me. Thank you for this interesting and nice experience and I would like to go on another walking tour with you in the future.”
Mr Mueller, Switzerland
“We finally got to take the trip we had signed up to do since 2020. Many things in our life and the world changed in that time frame, but not the desire to do this Mother-Daughter trip. Thank you so much, "Contours Holidays" for working with us to get to complete this trip. For my daughter and I it was truly a trip of a lifetime that of course we want to have more of!!! Contours Holidays had great communication. They even helped us learn more about making our connections to the first leg of the trip in Drymen from Glasgow and I would have been really lost without that information. All luggage connections were made as planned and it went smoothly.”
Mrs Hale-Grams, USA
“We had a lot of fun and met many nice people.”
Mrs Joslin, USA
“We have just completed the Rob Roy Way, courtesy of your good selves. By my reckoning it was our fifth trail booked by you and as good as ever. We’ll be doing some research and put our deposits down in the autumn for next year’s walk.”
Mrs Lawrie, UK
“Yet another fabulous walk in Scotland. Probably the most varied of all the Scottish walks I’ve done, as it combines a mix of river bank, rolling hills, and farmland, railway track beds, moorland and sandy beaches – all within a week. And it has red squirrels – hurray!”
Mr Julyan, UK
“Absolutely delighted with this holiday you organised for me. I was walking on my own and managed fine thanks to all your information and arrangements. Accommodation mentioned several times that they liked working with you as you gave them plenty of information including accommodation addresses etc of day before and day after which they found useful to know. I would definitely recommend Contours to anybody looking for this kind of holiday. Many thanks.”
Miss Redden, UK
“Contours excelled itself with selection of B&BS!”
