Filming Locations

  • Drummond Castle

    The formal 17th-century gardens of Drummond Castle served as the estate of the Marquis of Montrose (John Hurt), with scenes depicting Rob Roy's attempt to secure a loan from the aristocrat who will ultimately betray him.

  • Glen Nevis

    The dramatic Highland landscapes of Glen Nevis were used for the opening sequences showing Rob Roy herding cattle across misty slopes and for ambush scenes in which Montrose's men attack through the hills.

  • Megginch Castle

    The courtyard of Megginch Castle was dressed as a village square and used for the Factor's Inn scenes, in which Rob Roy drinks with the treacherous Killearn (Brian Cox), who engineers his downfall.
