About the Rob Roy Way
The Rob Roy Way links places connected with Rob Roy MacGregor, from Drymen through the Trossachs to Pitlochry. It passes Aberfoyle and Callander, follows the old railway through the Pass of Leny and along Loch Lubnaig, and crosses the Glen Ogle viaduct on the way to Killin.
From Killin the route follows Loch Tay and crosses the hills to Aberfeldy before the last stage to Pitlochry.
