To understand the famous highlander Rob Roy, you must first understand the times in which he lived. On this episode of Simply Scottish, we separate the man from the myth. Discover the troubling period of Scottish history into which Rob was born, including the story of the covenanters and the conflict between king and church. Learn more about the clan system and how Rob Roy quickly gained a reputation for himself as a man of courage and conviction. Even amidst the toughest times, Rob remained true to his family and clan, and his story can be an encouragement to us all. All this plus music from David Warrack's Rob Roy: The Musical, Kim Edgar, Alasdair Fraser, and more!
