McGregor, South Africa

McGregor is a small village in the mountains of the Western Cape, South Africa.

Andrew McGregor, who had been the Dutch Reformed Church minister of the Robertson District for forty years.

It is part of the broader wine route network of the Western Cape and is situated at one end of the popular Boesmanskloof Trail to the town of Greyton to the south.

In recent years some controversy has arisen due to the reduction of the roster to every second week in an effort to keep a fuller dam.

However, during the summer of 2012/13 extensive work has been undertaken to rebuild the dam and to prevent its main wall from leaking and it is now (June 2013) hoped that this will solve the problems.
