Rob Roy — Complete
A young Englishman journeys into the wild Scottish Highlands and becomes caught up in Jacobite intrigue and the world of the legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, a Highland Robin Hood of cunning and honor. Scott blends adventure, romance, and vivid history against the dramatic backdrop of a clan society on the eve of rebellion. Rich in memorable characters—including the unforgettable merchant Bailie Nicol Jarvie—and Highland color, Rob Roy is one of his most beloved novels. Stirring and atmospheric, it brings the beauty and danger of old Scotland to life in a tale of loyalty, feud, and the fading world of the clans.
