Rob Roy Way

Perth and Kinross, Stirling

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).

UPDATE May 2023: Temporary closure of route through Malling Forest. See https://www.robroyway.com/route-closure-from-2-may-to-2-june-aberfoyle-to-callander/

UPDATE August 2021: There has been an amendment to the route in the Aberfoyle area. The new route follows the A821 footway, into the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and then turns east and around the back of the Dounans Centre. The new route is not yet shown on OS Maps but it is believed to be fully signed on the ground.
