I was under the impression that since his status of “Outlaw” he would have been buried in an undisclosed location which has been done throughout history, you know that whole Martyr thing…

IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS NOT ROB ROY’S GRAVE IT NEED TO BE ESTABLISHED AS IT IS A MACLAREN GRAVEYARD
AND THE MACGREGORS WERE NOT THAT POPULAR I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF AN ON GOING FUED.

I am related to both the McLarens and the MacGregors. Which side am I supposed to take? I have been to the old churchyard at Balquidder and I agree with Lorraine’s analysis.

I think it is definitely Rob Roy in the grave. Why shouldn’t it be? Why on Earth would people claim it was his grave in the first place if it wasn’t? It is a very ordinary grave, quite easy to miss, in a very small churchyard in a tiny wee village in Scotland. I have visited on several occassions, and see no reason not to believe so. It is not well publicised, it is a very old grave off the main road by about 5 miles. Not exactly in a prominent position as though it were some money spinning scheme. And if you can imagine at the time of his life, the surrounding country side would be quite remote and wild and all the touristy bits wouldn’t have been there, so it isn’t beyond the imagination to think that he would have lived and died there and went to the church.
