Caption

Rob Roy, Scottish outlaw and folk hero of the 18th century. Robert Roy MacGregor, (c1671-1734), also known as Red MacGregor is sometimes referred to as the Scottish Robin Hood. Rob Roy is anglicised from the Scottish Gaelic Raibeart Ruadh, or Red Robert. This is because Rob Roy had red hair, though it darkened to auburn in later life.
