Sharp’s ROB ROY also includes John Hurt’s fantastic turn as James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, & Tim Roth as the vicious dandy Archibald Cunningham. Although Archie is fictional (& framed as English in the film, despite his Scottish name), he is based on a real Scot who defeated Rob Roy in a duel: Henry Cunningham of Boquhan
