Rob Roy: With The Author�������s Last Notes And Additions (1831) is a novel written by Scottish author Walter Scott. It was first published in 1817 and is set in Scotland during the early 18th century. The novel follows the story of the Scottish outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, who is a notorious figure in Scottish history. The novel is a historical romance and explores themes of loyalty, honour, and betrayal. The story begins with the narrator, Frank Osbaldistone, who is sent by his father to Scotland to work at his uncle’s business. Frank becomes involved with the MacGregor clan, who are in conflict with the English authorities. He meets Rob Roy, who is a charismatic and enigmatic figure, and becomes embroiled in his schemes.
