| Rob Roy is buried with his wife and two of his sons. His stone, in the center, is carved, but badly worn. |
Robert MacGregor is a Scottish Folk hero and outlaw immortalized by Sir Walter Scott in his novel, Rob Roy. On our first house sitting trip to Scotland, we had the pleasure of staying with MacGregor the Cat, Rob Roy's namesake. When we met Rae and Marty in Inverness, Marty insisted we had to visit Rob Roy's grave. In our usual way, we fearlessly took off down narrow lanes, by lochs, through glens and up mountain sides to find the last resting place of the man himself.

It was a day of sun and showers.

On the way to visit Rob Roy, we passed through Callander, the hometown of another famous Scot, our friend Liz, who now lives in France. The Dreadnought Hotel, I found out after sharing the picture with her, was a place she "danced at many a happy ceilidh".
