GlenGyle House, Loch Katrine. Scotland.
This GlenGyle House in Loch Katrine was built in the 18th century and replaced the original house where Rob Roy MacGregor was born on 7th March 1671 from parents Donald Glas MacGregor and Margaret Campbell, He married Mary MacGregor of Comar in 1693 and they had four sons, James, Ranald, Coll and Robert. Rob Roy grew up to be a respected cattleman, but after a skirmish over a loan from the 1st Duke of Montrose he was branded a outlaw and his wife and family were evicted and their house burned down. The feud with the Duke continued over the years until 1722 when he surrendered and was imprisoned…..but he was finally pardoned in 1727. He died of old age and a bad winter in his house at Balquuidder on 28th Dec 1734 aged 63 and is buried in Balquidder Parish Church.

Clan MacGregor Burial Enclosure, GlenGyle.Loch Katrine. Scotland.
The small 18th century square MacGregor Burial enclosure sits on rising ground within woodland close to Glen Gyle House. It is one of the historical burial grounds of the MacGregors and being hidden within the wood, can be easily missed by people walking/cycling round Loch Katrine. There are a number of flat Table Tombs, Gravestones and wall mounted memorial plaques from the 17th century, one commemorates Colonel Gregor MacGregor “Ghlune Dhu” (Rob Roy’s nephew) who was involved in both the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite uprisings…..he died in 1777 aged 88.

Glengyle House, Loch Katrine, Scotland.
Glengyle House dates back to the early 18th century, with a lintel on the outside porch dated 1707, it was built on the site of a 17th century stone cottage but now stands proudly on the shore at the head of the western end of Loch Katrine in the Trossachs area of Scotland, it’s visible for miles from along the south shore and signifies how the Glengyle MacGregors wanted to show their presence and importance in the landscape with this bold architectural statement. The house was burned down in 1715 and 1745 and it is not known whether the remains of the earlier structures are incorporated in the house today. A small enclosed Cemetery lies just to the west of the house in a wooded area where the remains of the Chieftains of the Clan MacGregor are buried.
