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 Murray, though it is much more likely to have been the 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)].
