	Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott : Arthur's Classic Novels
		Rob Roy MacGregor Campbell, which last name he bore in consequence of the Acts of Parliament abolishing his own, was the younger son of Donald MacGregor of Glengyle, said to have been a Lieutenant-Colonel (probably in the service of James II.), by his wife, a daughter of Campbell of Glenfalloch.
		Rob Roy was, therefore, sure of refuge in the country of the Campbells, both as having assumed their name, as connected by his mother with the family of Glenfalloch, and as an enemy to the rival house of Montrose.
		Rob Roy, fending himself the weaker party, asked a parley, in which he represented that both clans were friends to the King, and, that he was unwilling they should be weakened by mutual conflict, and thus made a merit of surrendering to Appin the disputed territory of Invernenty.

	Rob Roy and Clan MacGregor
		Rob Roy was a multi-talented man - a great swordsman and soldier (fighting alongside his father by the age of 18 against William of Orange), an astute businessman, and master of the highland "protection racket".
		Failing to answer the charge, Rob Roy was declared an outlaw and began his campaign of harassment against the Duke (rustling his cattle).
		Ironically, Rob Roy's mother was a Campbell, and since the name MacGregor was proscribed by William of Orange, Rob Roy used the name Campbell at various times throughout his life and hid (with permission) on the Duke of Argyll's lands while an outlaw.

		"Rob Roy" is a beautifully filmed, classic tale marred by a vicious rape scene which, although necessary to the plot as written, still made me quite uncomfortable.
		Shot on location in Scotland, the film tells the story of an 18th-century highlander named Rob Roy MacGregor (Liam Neeson) who has a run-in with the lord of his land (John Hurt) which changes the lives of his peasant community forever.
		And yet, with all this going for it, "Rob Roy" isn't as gratifying as it could have been, due to its periodic reliance on sexuality, both in positive and negative depictions.
