Balquhidder and Rob Roy's Grave

Balquhidder Glen has for long been associated with Rob Roy MacGregor and his clan. It's a beautiful place to visit, with marvellous views and reflections in Lochs Voil and Doine. The grave of Rob Roy, his wife Mary and 2 of his sons is at Balquhidder church.

A short walk up the hill behind the church leads to 'the MacLaren's Meeting Place', a viewpoint with a stone marking the traditional meeting place of members of that clan.

At the west end of the glen is Inverlochlarig, where Rob Roy lived and kept cattle in his latter years.

Between King's House (a hotel) and Balquhidder village a building resembling an old church can be seen on the left at Achtubh. This is the mausoleum of the Clan MacGregor.

To get there

Drive north on the A84 through Strathyre then after about 2 miles take the right turn to Balquhidder (the road then doubles back to head west). The mausoleum is 1 mile and Balquhidder church 2 mile along this road.
