to say, while thus setting the law at defiance, he obtained a certain
steady amount of countenance and protection from both of the great
Campbell chiefs, Argyle and Breadalbane. The government made an
effort to impose a check upon his career by planting a little fort at
Inversnaid;[450] but Rob Roy, nevertheless, continued in his lawless
course of life. On the side of Loch Lomond, 1712.
near Inversnaid, there is a cave formed by a
flexure in the stratification of the mountain: here Rob occasionally
took refuge when hard pressed. It is curious to reflect that this
strange exemplification of predatory life was realised in a not very
remote part of our island, in the days when Addison and Pope were
regaling the refined people of London with the productions of their
genius. Rob is described as a short, robust man, with bushy hair and
beard, and legs covered so thickly with red hair as to resemble those
of a Highland bull. His cognomen ‘Roy’ expresses his ruddy
complexion. It is admitted that, amidst his wild life, he was not
without humanity or feeling for the unfortunate, and, what is
perhaps more strange, that he was a sagacious and politic sort of
person, who never would go into any quarrel or contention which
was not likely to result in some practical benefit or advantage. It was
probably owing to this cool temperament, that, though he mustered
a body of clansmen for the Stuart cause in 1715, he yet stood neutral
at the battle of Sheriffmuir, alike afraid to offend King James, on the
one hand, and his patron, the Duke of Argyle, on the other.
Adding, in the Horatian spirit which marked him all through life:

‘My Dear—I left Edinr upon fryday the 29th of the last. Dean of [Guild] Allane
nor your sister either durst venture to travell to Glasgow with [me], on account of
the season, but said that Mr Bell, Lisis younge husband, was there, whom Dean of
Guild Allane had trusted with any business that could bee done for him. I called at
Lithkow and saw Lissie, who was very kinde, was at Kilsyth all that night, came to
Glasgow the next day, beeing Saturday, at twelve of the clock, and at two of the
clock that day went down to the chesting of your father. He was buried yesterday
att four a clock afternoon, beeing Monday the first instant, very devoutlie and
honourablie, for Blythswood had ordered all things proper and suitable to a nicety.
All the gentlemen in the place, the magistrates, and the citiezens of best esteem
and substance, accompanied the funerall in very good order. I carried his head,
Blythswood on my right, and Alex. Bell, Lissies husband, on my left hand; other
nerest relations and Sr James Campbell of Auchinbrook carried all the way. After
the funerall, there was prepared in the large room of the Coffee-house a very
handsome and genteele treat, to wh the Magistrates and Gentlemen and friends
were invited. The treat consisted of confections, sweet breads, and bisket of divers
sorts, very fine and well done, and wines. There were at it upwards of thirtie. Wee
are this day to look to his papers in presence of Bailie Bowman and town-clark,
wherof you shall have account of after this. I have sent a letter to Sir Robert Pollock
just now, whose answer I will wait. I am like to stay five days after this here, and
the time I may stay in Edir depends on my success from Sir Rot Pollock. In the
mean time let Robie[466] be making himself ready, for his master told Dean of
Guild that he thought he would bee readie to saill about the middle of this instant.
When I come to Edr I shall know whither it will be needfull to send for him before I
come home myselfe or not. I recommend you all to the protection of God, and am,
