Narrator John Rowe with John Rye and Brian Smith The unique approach of John MacGregor to the business of exploration was that he did it all in his own purpose-built canoe, the Rob Roy. It served both as his home and his means of transportation. He also on his travels distributed evangelical tracts; he was, unashamedly, a man with a mission, and before setting out to explore the Middle East in 1868 he had in London founded the Ragged Schools
Shoeblack Society to help solve the problem of youth delinquency. His climactic journey to explore the sources of the River Jordan brought him close to death; 'English one, Arabs many,' he cried as an Arab took aim with his rifle.
But MacGregor survived to hold audiences spellbound with a dramatised account of his adventures.
