Summary
[edit]DescriptionRob Roy MacGregors house in Glen Shira.jpg |
English: The remains of Rob Roy MacGregor's house Glen Shira c 1716 In 1716 John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll also known as Red John of the Battles "Iain Ruaidh nan Cath" negotiated an amnesty and protection for Rob and granted him permission to build a house in upper Glen Shira for the surrendering up of weapons. "traditionally the story goes that Argyll only received a large cash of rusty old weapons". A sporran and dirk handle belonging to Rob Roy can still be seen at Inveraray Castle. There's also a mention of Rob Roy constructing a fank or fold for sheep or cattle in the Glen. Rob Roy probably only stayed here for a few years. Some time after the 1719 Jacobite Rebellion around 1720 Rob had moved to Monachyle Tuarach Loch Doine and some time before 1722 moved to Inverlochlarig Beag on the Braes of Balquhidder. Possibly constructed c 1716 to 1717. |
