The
Rob Roy Way: From Drymen to Pitlochry This long-distance
walk from Drymen to Pitlochry was developed by Rucksack Readers
in partnership with walking enthusiasts. It runs for 79 miles
(126 km) along some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens, using
historic footpaths, a cycle route, forest tracks and some minor
road. Many places are linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw,
Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734). The route has no official status,
but was negotiated with private landowners, Forest Enterprise,
Stirling and Perth Councils and others. The Way offers superb
views, but is less strenuous than the West Highland Way. It
is not fully waymarked as such, but the book gives detailed
directions and most of it is straightforward. Walkers are always
advised to carry a compass, but are unlikely to need it unless
walking an exposed section in winter. This book contains all
you need to plan and enjoy your holiday: background on Rob Roy
MacGregor, history, heritage and wildlife; summary of each section
showing distance, terrain and food/drink stops; drop-down map
showing the whole route in five panels; visitor attractions
and hills to climb (Munros, Corbetts and Grahams); special notes
for people with no previous experience; planning information
for travel by car, train, bus or plane; foreword by Sir David
Steel, Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament; in full
colour, with over 60 photographs; waterproof paper throughout.
