Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4393241074 - 'The grave of Rob Roy MacGregor, who died 28th December 1734 aged 70 is within the grounds of Balquhidder church looking over Loch Voil.
The stone over Rob Roy's grave reads 'MacGregor Despite Them' The MacGregor clan was the only clan in history to be 'proscribed' - that is, it became illegal to be a MacGregor, on three separate occasions. To survive, clan members took on other names, many of which their descendants still use today.
The Graves of Rob Roy and Helen/Mary MacGregor and their sons Coll and Robert are also interred there.
In the kirkyard of Balquhidder's Parish Church, the ruins of the Old Church it replaced can be clearly seen up the hill behind Rob Roy's grave. Its situated on the lower slopes of the north side of Balquhidder Glen. It reflects the continuation of a tradition of worship in the glen that goes back 4000 years or more. The Celts believed this to be a 'thin place' where the spiritual world and the earthly world came close together. To the south is a spur of Ben Ledi ('the hill of God') and traces of a Neolithic temple dating back to 1800 BC have been found in the glen.
A graveyard stone describes how the MacLarens were attacked by the MacGregors of Glen Dochart. 18 MacLaren families resident in Balquhidder were murdered in the Glen before settling on their land. At the time the MacGregors largely evaded responsibility for what would today be called an act of genocide. But it was one of the factors later held against them (the more immediate being their slaying of several hundred members of Clan Colquhoun at the Battle of Glen Fruin on 7 February 1603) when the entire Clan MacGregor was outlawed by James VI in April 1603. These were very bloody times. It became a capital offence even to carry the name MacGregor.
