Hunt for Rob Roy, The: The Man and the Myths | Stevenson, David | John Donald Publishers | 2004 | This biography of Rob Roy (Robert MacGregor, 1671-1734) is a direct challenge to the myths perpetrated by Walter Scott and, more recently, by film-makers. By using recently-rediscovered material, the author has built up a picture of a man who deliberately went bankrupt, was a government spy against the Jacobites and did his best to avoid any fighting at all. With the myths dispelled, the reader may still find that he is an interesting figure as he had the ability to survive all that was thrown at him. | 1189 |
