The Rob Roy Way is a long-distance walk from Drymen to Pitlochry, co-developed by Rucksack Readers in 2002. 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.
Update 1 March 2008: new offroad route from Aberfeldy to Grandtully: download the upgrade sheet (PDF, 60K).
Many places are linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734). The Way offers superb scenery, and gets you away from the crowds following the West Highland Way. The route is now waymarked in Loch Ard forest and the second edition has improved directions and extra photographs.
