  • Records of Argyll Part Iv Conclusion
    RECORDS OF ARGYLL PART IV CONCLUSION By Ken McNaughton The historic origins of the Macnachtan Clan lie in Perthshire but between the 13th and 18th centuries the leadership resided in Argyll. The reasons for this discrepancy are not known. It could be that when he gave them the castle at Fraoch Eilean in 1267 [1] King Alexander III needed defensive allies in Argyll and wanted to reward the Macnachtans. Duncan McNaughton [2] suggests the leadership may have been transferred to Argyll to weaken the Clan, since there they may have been under closer royal supervision or dominated by more powerful, loyal clans. The last Macnachtan Chief left the family stronghold at Dunderave between 1710 and 1713 [3] and the Campbells consolidated their hold on Argyll. Because of their wealth and power the Campbells had time to collect stories about their clan and those of their neighbors. Perhaps the best known (and oft quoted) such book is Records of Argyll [4] which was published in 1885. One would hope that this would include some valuable information about our Clan. But keep in mind that the author is a Campbell whose modus operandi was to collect stories and that in 1881 there were twice as many people with the name MacNaughton in Perthshire as there were in Argyll [5]. The first story about the MacNaughtons in the book [6] is called “The MacNaughtons of Dunderave” [7]. While it includes some interesting stories it is not a reliable historical document. The other main entry about the MacNaughtons is contained in an Appendix [8].

The Callander Family of Ardkinglas and Craigforth, The Campbell Family of Southall, The Campbell Family of Craignish, 17th – 19th c, The Campbell Family of Barbreck, The Campbell Family of Glendaruel. The Church of Scotland (Synod of Argyll). Administrative history The Campbell family, Dukes of Argyll, played a historically important role in Scottish, British and international affairs from the fourteenth to early twentieth centuries. From the fourteenth century onwards their clan chiefs were closely allied to the Scottish crown and parliament, holding many important official roles and responsibilities which were sustained and expanded after Union. These include Master of the Royal Household in Scotland, Keeper of the Privy Seal, Lord Justice General, Lord Lieutenant of Argyll, Admiral of Western Coasts and Isles, and in the nineteenth century, the Colonial roles of British Governor General in India and Canada. From the early fourteenth century the family seat was Innischonnell on Loch Awe and their principal landholdings lay close by on Lochawside. Around 1400, Sir Colin Campbell moved to Inveraray on Loch Fyne which lay closer to newly acquired lands in Cowal and gave direct access to important coastal travel and trade routes.

  • The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots
    THE FIFTH EARL OF ARGYLL AND MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS When Mary, Queen of Scots' name is linked to that of a man most people think immediately of high romance and passion, or even murder and rape, with a large dollop of tragedy thrown in. Three husbands had come and gone by the time Mary was twenty-five and during her long dreary single years in an English prison there was still continuous intrigue and speculation about a fourth. But the tragedy and Victorian-style melodrama of her marriages to Francis II, who died as a teenager in 1560, Darnley, who was murdered in 1567, and Bothwell, who fled Scotland in 1568, went mad in a Danish prison and died in 1578, have overshadowed the less-highly charged relationships she had with the Scottish nobles of her court. One of the most important of these was the affectionate friendship with her brother- in-law, the fifth earl of Argyll. Archibald Campbell, the 5th earl was not much older than Mary herself. He was probably born in 1538 so would have been only four years old in the dramatic year of 1542. It witnessed the birth of Mary on 8 December and, within a week, the death of her father, James V [1513-42], which made her ruler of Scotland. A regency was established with Mary as titular queen, but the main struggle for power was between those Scots who favoured the alliance with France and those who wanted friendship with England. The key issue was whether the young Queen would marry a French or an English prince.

While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH CASTLE CAMPBELL SYNOPSIS Castle Campbell stands in lofty isolation on a narrow rocky spur at the head of Dollar Glen, 1 mile north of Dollar. The spur is cut off from the east, west and south by the ravines of the Burns of Care and Sorrow, whilst the Ochil Hills overlook it from the north. The castle has splendid views southward over the Forth valley. The site may be of some antiquity but the present castle complex most probably dates from the early 15th century. Initially called Castle Gloom, it became the Lowland residence of the Campbell earls of Argyll around 1465 – whence the name Castle Campbell. It remained with that powerful noble family until the 9th earl relocated to Argyll’s Lodging, Stirling, in the mid-17th century. Thereafter, the castle fell into ruin. The Campbell earls substantially rebuilt the lofty tower house that dominates the complex, then added a once-splendid but now substantially ruined hall range across the courtyard c.

  • Clan Campbell Enewsletter August 2012
    Clan Campbell eNewsletter August 2012 THIS CASTLE HATH A PLEASANT SEAT” Led by our guide, David McNicoll, and our personal piper supplied by the Dowager Countess Cawdor, a raingear-toting, bedraggled gaggle of Campbells walked under the stately trees up the avenue to Cawdor Castle, a 14th century Campbell stronghold in Nairnshire in the northeast of Scotland. The weather was cool during our trip, and although it often rained, we saw everything. And whenever the sun came out, it was glorious. Good kilt weather! The Scottish title of the Earl Cawdor of Castlemartin in the Co. of Pembroke (Wales) is “thane,” an ancient equivalent of feudal baron. (The word derives from thegn, which is a Norse title meaning a trusted servant of the king. In ancient Scotland there were 63 thanedoms.) In old Scotland a thane was often the head of a clan as well as a district administrator with power of life and death, and answerable only to God and the King. Colin Vaughan Campbell, the present 7th Earl Cawdor is the 25th Thane of Cawdor. Lord Cawdor is an architect by profession and manages the Cawdor Estates; his stepmother the Dowager Countess happened to be on hand at the time of our visit and several members of the Campbell group had a chance to meet her. She is normally in residence at Cawdor from October to May when the castle is closed to visitors. A best-selling but largely unflattering book A CHARMED LIFE: GROWING UP IN MACBETH’S CASTLE by Liza Campbell (Lady Elizabeth Campbell, older sister of the earl) tells the story of the Cawdor family in recent years.

Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
