About Robert Barclay Allardice

Robert Barclay Allardice of Ury, better known as Captain Barclay, was a Scottish walker of the early 19th century, known as the Celebrated Pedestrian. His most famous feat was walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours for 1,000 guineas in 1809. He is considered the father of the 19th-century sport of pedestrianism, a precursor to racewalking. He should not be confused with his father, who had assumed the name Robert Barclay Allardice and undertook the first redevelopment of the town of Stonehaven.
