Robert Roy MacGregor

Thank you, guys, for the links.

I was aware that he was a real man and that he has been fictionalised beyond the scope of history but I see very few threads on here about History (odd, since the kilt and its accoutrements are the garb of living history).

I have heard some far-fetched stories about him. Some turned out to be true, some are utter kak.

He seems like a person who always had his wheels turning.

I've had that one for some years, and I agree.

Really? That's two votes from chaps I respect a lot! I must check it out now!

I have never sorted out the fact from fiction over this fellow and on the whole I, like most Scots I think when the subject comes up, just go "yes, yes" and move on to talking about the weather. Very much I imagine, how many Americans think about Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, or some such.

That makes sense, Jock. We take most of those stories about the Old West with a very large pinch of salt. I suppose that most legends have that in common.
