Close. I have that painting in a book. It's called "For Better or Worse - Rob Roy and the Baillie", painted by John Watson Nicol in 1886.

Thanks for setting me straight! What's the book, and (if you know) where is the original?

The book is The Complete Book of Tartan. Its accuracy is a bit spotty in places, but it has some nice pictures. I'll have to scan and upload some of them when I get the time.

The painting of Rob Roy is part of the Bridgeman Art Library. The original is owned by the Sheffield Galleries & Museums Trust, and is apparently housed in the Graves Gallery:
