    Actually I'm not sure the "red hair" fact was on that show...If I remember correctly, I ran across that while doing some research last year. If I can remember the reference, I'll PM you the book info.

    I managed to TiVo both shows this weekend and watch them several times. (Hey, it rained long and hard in the whole weekend here in the North East). They did mention the Red Hair and the Rob Roy translation.

    I thought that they (History Channel) did a decent job on both shows. I was even more impressed when it was mentioned that the clan system and associated 'named' tartans as we know them today, did not exist in Rob’s time.
