- TriviaThis was the final Walt Disney Studios production released through RKO Radio Pictures.
- GoofsHamish Macpherson compares the Marquis of Montrose unfavourably with his ancestors, eliding his grandfather, James Graham, the first Marquis ("the great Montrose") with John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee ("the bonnie Dundee") as if they were the same person. They were, in fact, only distantly related and overlapped in date only briefly: Montrose lived 1612-1650, Dundee 1648-89. It is unclear whether this is an error of the script or whether it is meant to indicate that Hamish's reminiscences are unreliable and overblown.

Featured review
The Film Deservedly Selected for the Royal Command Performance of 1953
Although not based on Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name, I found "Rob Roy" a most entertaining effort. Splendidly acted throughout, particularly by James Robertson Justice (as the sympathetic Campbell), Michael Gough and Geoffrey Keen (two wonderful villains), and Eric Pohlmann (a truly charismatic performance one of his best as King George), "Rob Roy" emerges as a rousing adventure yarn with plenty of swashbuckling excitement, hair's breadth escapes, and even a bit of humor and romance. French has directed in rousing style. He has an eye for both the pictorial and dramatic possibilities of real locations. Supporting technical credits are absolutely first-class, featuring fine scenic photography and a handsomely atmospheric music score.
