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

“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
“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
“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
“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
“Got really lucky with the weather - just one morning of drizzling rain, and we were at altitude in a cool breeze for the heat wave! First few days felt a bit like walking on a bike path in a suburban park, not our favorite, but the last three made up for anything.”
Dr Bishop, USA
“Nice walking and perfect organisation by Contours.”
Mister Ampting, Netherlands
“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 trip locations and accommodations were great.”
