Rob Roy Way

Perth and Kinross, Stirling

127 km / 79 miles
This walk 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. You also walk alongside Loch Venachar, Loch Lubnaig and Loch Tay and pass Ben Ledi, Ben Lawers and Ben Chonzie.

The Lowland Highland Trail (60 miles), part of Sustrans Route 7, is coincident in parts with the Rob Roy Way between Drymen and Ardeonaig. For anyone contemplating combining Rob Roy Way and the Cateran Trail, the guidebook provides a link between Pitlochry (RRW) and Kirkmichael (CT).
