A great deal tlierefore still remains to be done even in this register and the remaining records in the Court House at Inveraray. But the present Volume indicates what these and similar registers contain, and it may be said that no Argyleshire family of Campbell is unrepresented, and that not a few hitherto unknown and unattached members of the Clan are for the first time brought to notice here. It only remains to acknowledge that thanks are due to Baron Ltittwitz, who claims descent from Colin Campbell, Bailie of Tiree, and who shared the cost of the examination of this register, and to Mr. B. M. Wright, Sheriff Clerk Depute at Inveraray, for his courtesy and kindness to the Editor and his son during their several visits thither for the purpose of making these Abstracts. The Index is also the work of Mr. Henry Paton, junior. INTRODUCTION. This Volume is the first of a series which it is intended to publish from the large collection of Campbell information gathered from public and private record sources by Sir Duncan Campbell of Barcaldine and Glenure, Baronet, for the purpose of providing materials for the construction of accurate and reliable memoirs of the various branches of the Clan Campbell. Until such materials are provided, it is an impossible task to write such histories, but the effort to supply these is a heavy strain both on the time and the resources of a single man. A great deal has been done, but as much and more still remains to be overtaken, and would soon be accomplished if the like enthusiasm and interest were shared by other representatives of the great and widely ramified Campbell Clan. As the cradle of the Clan, Argyllshire may justly be expected to yield from its record treasuries the most copious and interesting information, and hence a beginning has been made with the -Sheriff Court Books at Inveraray. By these are meant only that portion of the records in the custody of the Sheriff Clerk there known as the Probative Kegister of Deeds, besides which there are judicial and other records and innumerable unarranged papers. Moreover, it is only a portion of this Eegister of Deeds that has been dealt with and noted in the following pages. It commences in 1689, and continues through nearly thirty goodly volumes to the close of last century. These volumes are full of deeds of various kinds relating to Campbells, and the first eight, to 1724, have been with regard to this name fully exhausted, except that mere cases of the protesting of bills were disregarded. From Volumes 8 to IS inclusive ouly a selection of the more important deeds were made. 2 THE CLAN CAMPBELL. 1690, July 24th. —Bond by John M'Inturnor. portioner of Drumlie, to James Campbell, maltman in Kilmahew, for £12 Scots, dated 25th April 1687. 690, July 30th.—Bond by Alexander Campbell of Barichbyan to Samuel Ferguson, son of the deceased Eobert Ferguson, com- missary clerk of Lome, for £45 Scots; witnesses, Donald Campbell, his brother, and Thomas Campbell in Lergichonbeg, dated at Lergichonemore 23rd February 1659. 1690, July 30th.— Bond by Dugall Campbell in Amot in South Kintyre, brother german to Duncan Campbell of Glencaradell, whereby for the sale of the four merklands of Drumnamuek- loch by the said Duncan Campbell to the said Dugall, and in terms of a former agreement between them, the said Dugall Campbell now pays 2000 merks to the said Duncan, dated at Campbeltown 27th April 1676 ; witnesses, DupaU Campbell of Lindsaig, bailie of Kintyre, etc. 1690, October 4th.— Bond by Patrick Campbell, merchant in In- veraray, to Cuthbert Campbell, merchant in Glasgow, for 100 merks, dated at Inveraray 7 th July 1684 ; witnesses, Eobert Campbell, merchant in Inveraray, and William Campbell, writer in Greenock. 1890, October 4th. —Bond by Robert Eoss, late provost of Inver- aray, to Eobert Campbell of SUvercraigs for 400 merks, dated at Inveraray 14th August 1688 ; witnesses.

  • Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name
    Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name The hotel was purchased by the Byrne family in the summer of 2015, returning the business to local ownership for the first time in many years. Opened in 1755 to national acclaim, the hotel was known as “The Inveraray Inn”. Our first act as new owners was to reinstate the original name. Our family has a long history in the hotel trade, is local to Argyll and also owns the nearby Best Western hotel in Crianlarich and the beautiful Ivy House, our Front Street neighbour (ask at Reception for booking details). Since purchasing the hotel, we have invested more than £1 million in a full and sympathetic refurbishment of this iconic and historic building. We hope that you are as pleased with the "new" hotel as we are. Please enjoy your stay. A Brief History of Inveraray Inveraray, at the head of Loch Fyne, owes its prominence to the rebuilding of Inveraray Castle, seat of the Duke of Argyll, in the 18th century. The town's history, however, goes back much further, since it was made a Royal Burgh in 1638 by Charles I. The Argyll family, who hold the chieftainship of the Clan Campbell, have been important players in Scottish history, with a happy knack of usually picking the winning side during centuries of bloody inter-clan feuding and bitter political in-fighting. The Campbells' contentious massacre at Glencoe of their rival MacDonalds in 1692 is long remembered, but their positive role in shaping modern Scotland cannot be overstated.

    INVERARAY JAIL - PRISONER RECORDS http://www.inverarayjail.co.uk/ USE THE EDIT / FIND ON TOOLBAR TO SEARCH NAMES and ENTRIES BY TOWN and VILLAGE By tradition and history 'the county town Argyll, Inveraray's courthouse and prisons, designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1813, after original plans by Robert Reid in 1807, opened in 1820 - Whilst Reid's original plans hadd included a courthouse and three prisons - one for males, one for females and one for debtors - The Prison Commissioners, lacking finances, had to be content with building only the courthouse and but one prison, eight cellss contained in its two floors - Following the 1839 Prisons (Scotland) Act, a second prison, separating men and women and designed by Thomas Brown of Edinburgh, was opened at the end of 1848, the new three-storied prison having twelve cells, an exercise gallery and a pair of outdoor exercise yards, the idea of separating male and female prisoners stemming from the somewhat misguided persuasion that such a system gave prisoners time to reflect upon their sins ! After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.

New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory.
