==Legacy== Glengyle House, on the shore of Loch Katrine, dates back to the early 18th century, with a porch dated to 1707, and is built on the site of the 17th century stone cottage where Rob Roy is said to have been born. Since the 1930s, the Category B-[[listed building]] had been in the hands of successive water authorities, but was identified as surplus to requirements and put up for auction in November 2004, despite objections from the [[Scottish National Party]]. The [[Rob Roy Way]], a [[long distance footpath]] from [[Drymen]] to [[Pitlochry]], was created in 2002 and named in Rob Roy's honour. Descendants of Rob Roy settled around [[McGregor, Iowa]], [[United States]], and in 1849 it was reported that the original MacGregor seal and [[Signet ring|signet]] was owned by Alex McGregor of Iowa. The [[Scots Gaelic]] clan seal was inscribed "S' Rioghal Mo Dhream" ("Royal is my race"). The signet was a [[Heliotrope (mineral)|bloodstone]] from Loch Lomond, and was sketched by William Williams.<ref>{{cite book |title=Major William Williams' Journal (Annals of Iowa, Volume XII, No. 4, 3rd Series) |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iVlIAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA257 |publisher=Historical Department of Iowa (Edgar R.
