Description
Here lies the ultimate Super Hero.
Rob Roy McGregor
The name that stirs the heart of every good Scot.
Robert MacGregor stuffed it right up the Sassinachs' good style.
(Especially that wee horror Tim Roth....the dispicable little runt!)

An intriguing shot, Anthony. Rob Roy and the fighting 'agin the Redcoats', was part of my early days too. Fueled by a broadsheet sized comic, possibly the TOPPER. One of the characters was an ox of a man who wore a bandolier of throwing knives. Sadly as an historian, I know that the legends are not only colourful, but also complicated, contradictory and often untrue. However they do give us our role models. The idea of someone ready to stand up to oppression, whether a Robin Hood, a William Wallace, a William Tell, a Ned Kelly, or whoever, is surely necessary to reinforce our sense of justice as we emerge from childhood. I know, from my old colleagues that I developed a definite 'bump' of justice. I still have to speak out, no matter how inconvenient it may be to the established world-view of others - especially those in authority. Respect should be earned. It does not go with the position. Regards, John.
