About the trail

Art of a statue of rob Roy McGregor on the Rob Roy Way.

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

“We had a lot of fun and met many nice people.”
Mrs Joslin, USA
“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
“We had a great walking holiday with no problems worth mentioning. We were very satisfied with the booked accommodations.”
Mr Lopen, Noway
“Nice walking and perfect organisation by Contours.”
Mister Ampting, Netherlands
“Lovely walk, great scenery and excellent facilities where we stayed. Planning our next trip already.”
Mr Beedle, UK
“A fabulous holiday, thank you. Made extra special with the exceptional weather that I enjoyed. No rain until the day I travelled home! All accommodation easily found and luggage always arrived.”
Ms Hoffman, 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
“Perfectly booked, great walking maps (esp the professional fold-out map saved us twice!), beautiful B&BS. We walked several times in Scotland over the last years, all self booked but unfortunately as the job gets more demanding time was to scarce to do this time to do it all myself – what can I say”
Mr Maier, Germany
“Fabulous trail, lovely weather, great hospitality!”
Ms Siemensma, The Netherlands
