His bones were laid about fifteen or twenty miles from thence, in Balquhidder kirkyard. But it was under the belief that his ‘grave is near the head of Loch Ketterine, in one of those pinfold-like burial grounds, of neglected and desolate appearance, which the traveller meets with in the Highlands of Scotland,’ that the well-known poem on ‘Rob Roy’s Grave’ was composed.
