Rob Roy has been represented as a bit of a rogue, a Scottish Robin Hood, a hero and even as criminal to those who force families to submit their land, name and livelyhood to the government.

Life was hard, and the highlands were still in the turmoil of the Jacobite risings. Earls of Argyle and Breadalbane obtained grants of the lands
