| − | A play called ''[[Rob Roy MacGregor Campbell]]'', said to be based on Scott's novel, was performed a number of times in the [[African Theatre]], Cape Town by the amateur company [[English Theatricals]] in the years 1823-24 (it is later simply referred to a ''[[Rob Roy]]'' in the sources). It ''may'' have been this version by Soane, though it is most likely the more widely known and published musical version by Isaac Pocock (1782–1835)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Pocock], with music by John Davy (1763-1824)[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Davy,_John_(1763-1824)_(DNB00)], since there are references to an Overture and original music in the advertisements for the productions.
