About the Book

The Rob Roy Way is one of Scotland's Great Trails and is very popular with both walkers and cyclists. It runs through many places linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734). The route starts at Drymen (near Glasgow) and ends at Pitlochry in the eastern Highlands, so it takes you away from the crowds following the West Highland Way to some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens. Its main spine runs for 79 miles (127 km) and is waymarked. There is an optional extra 17 miles if you take the wilderness extension through Glen Almond and Glen Quaich. Most walkers complete it in 6-8 days and most cyclists in 3-4 days. The main route goes through Loch Ard forest to Aberfoyle, goes beside Lochs Venachar, Lubnaig and Tay and passes through superb scenery, with interesting aqueducts, viaducts and a 3600 year-old stone circle. The terrain is a mixture of forest tracks, cycleway, disused railway trackbed and moorland footpaths. The Way passes through a succession of friendly villages with welcoming pubs and B&Bs. Our fourth edition has more content, with full coverage for cyclists and detailed description of the Glen Quaich alternative. It is now longer, 80 pages in place of 64, with 111 colour photos, many of them fresh. However thanks to its robust perfect binding it is 10 grams lighter than the previous edition and more pocketable. This guidebook contains all that walkers and cyclists need to plan and enjoy the Rob Roy Way: details of distance, terrain and food/drink for walkers and cyclists eight-page section for the extension via Glen Quaich visitor attractions, side-trips and mountains to climb including Ben Ledi planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane concise biography of Rob Roy MacGregor background on pre-history, heritage and wildlife detailed mapping on 18 pages at 1:50,000 in full colour, with 111 colour photos

About the Author :
Jacquetta Megarry is an enthusiastic walker turned publisher. She devised the Rucksack Reader format in 2000 to suit the needs of outdoor walking and cycling in real weather. In 2001 she developed the Rob Roy Way route and she has been walking it, on and off, ever since. She has written or co-authored over 20 other guidebooks but this route is very special to her.

Review :
The guidebook is very clear and concise. It looks like a good route for those who prefer a soft bed at night, and the guide tells you everything you'd want to know. Cameron McNeish in TGO magazine A route of dramatic and ever-changing landscapes steeped in history and tradition, it follows paths and tracks well known to our forebears, most notably Rob himself. Since there are numerous access points, this is a walk which can readily be done in stages ... Clan Gregor Society Newsletter no 54 The new edition … brings route directions bang up to date, and is the first to have been published since the route was waymarked in 2012. To summarise, this book is robust, waterproof, comprehensive and enjoyable: an essential companion for anyone wanting to tackle the Rob Roy Way.
