==Early life== [[File:Rob Roy's Putting Stone.jpg|thumb|Rob Roy's Putting Stone, a boulder he supposedly used for [[stone put]]ting, near Lochan nan Eireannaich at the head of Kirkton Glen where the pass leads from [[Balquhidder]] to [[Glen Dochart]].]] He was born in the [[Kingdom of Scotland]] at [[Glengyle]], at the head of [[Loch Katrine]], as recorded in the [[Church of Scotland]] [[Parish register|baptismal register]] of [[Buchanan, Stirling]]. His parents were the local [[Clan MacGregor]] [[tacksman]], Donald Glas MacGregor, and Margaret Campbell. He was also descended from the [[Clan MacDonald of Keppoch]] through his paternal grandmother.<ref>''Rob Roy MacGregor His Life and Times'', W. H. Murray</ref> Seeing as the name MacGregor was outlawed, Rob Roy sometimes went by his mother's name of Campbell. In January 1693, at Corrie Arklet farm near [[Inversnaid]], he married Mary MacGregor of Comar (1671–1745), who was born at Leny Farm, [[Strathyre]]. The couple had four sons: James Mor MacGregor (1695–1754), Ranald (1706–1786), Coll (died 1735)<ref>Inscription on Rob Roy MacGregor's grave.</ref> and Robert (1715–1754)—known as Robìn Òig or Young Rob. It has been argued that they also adopted a cousin named Duncan, but this is not certain.{{Why|date=April 2016}}
