In May Swenson's "The Centaur" it refers to "Rob Roy" what is so important about it? Is it her horse or famous person? Does her being a lesbian have anything to do with it?

Robert Roy MacGregor, (March 7, 1671 - December 28, 1734) usually known simply as Rob Roy or alternately Red MacGregor, was a famous Scottish folk hero and outlaw of the early 18th century, who is sometimes known as the Scottish Robin Hood. Rob Roy is anglicised from the Gaelic 'Raibeart Ruadh', or Red Robert; this is because Rob Roy had red hair, though it darkened to auburn in later life.

Rob Roy means Red Robert. He was a Scottish hero and legend. Check Sir Walter Scott's novel about him for a good introduction to him. There was a movie verswion starring Liam Neeeson you might find in video catalogs or stores.

It's like a martini, except it's scotch with sweet vermout. For a dry Rob Roy, substitute dry vermouth
