About the Campbells:
...
The Campbells arrived in Argyll as part of a royal expedition in
c.1220. They settled on Lochaweside where they were placed
in charge of the King's lands in the area.
The Chief of Clan Campbell takes his Gaelic title of 'MacCailein
Mor'
from Colin Mor Campbell - 'Colin the Great' who was killled
in 1296,
and was succeeded by his son Sir Neil Campbell, companion
and brother-in-law of King Robert the Bruce.
From Bruce's time, the family headquarters had been the great castle
at Innischonnell on Loch Awe, and remained so until the 1400's
when
Sir Duncan Campbell (great grandson of Sir Colin) moved to
to
Inveraray. He was created Lord Campbell and thereafter
a steady string of
titles were awarded to the family.
His grandson was created Earl of Argyll in 1457.
