| − | 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 is most likely that this was the widely known and published Pocock musical version, but it may have been the William Henry Murray version, entitled ''[[Rob Roy Macgregor]]'', which had been devised in association with Scott and was performed in Edinburgh in 1818.
