A Brief History of Clan Campbell The origins of Clan Campbell can, supposedly, be traced to the ancient Britons of Strathclyde and a son of King Arthur, however this seems more tradition than fact as the first recorded Campbell is Gillespie who owned some lands near Stirling. The Campbells were staunch supporters of Robert the Bruce so, when he ascended to the throne, their loyalty was rewarded with the grant of land, title and the marriage of Robert the Bruce’s sister Mary to Sir Neil Campbell thus forging closer ties between the Campbells and the crown. Clan Campbell has always been, or at least mostly, on the winning side of history, Teflon-like in their ability to avoid serious blemishes or stains. A group of soldiers, led by Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon, had enjoyed the hospitality of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe for a period of about two weeks when the soldiers massacred thirty-eight men, women and children (all of whom were unarmed) in an attempt to suppress the growing Jacobite movement. This outrage was not solely perpetrated by Campbells, yet it was a Campbell who led the group and it has left a stain on the otherwise good name of the clan. When and why MacLiver was changed to Campbell is not truly know, perhaps because of a misunderstanding with the Duke of York or perhaps because MacLiver was indeed the illegitimate son of Campbell. Torquhil Campbell Torquhil Ian Campbell is the 13 th and 6 th Duke of Argyll and the current head of Clan Campbell. The Campbells are a truly interesting clan and I can’t wait to get stuck in to their back story more over the coming months, I hope you will stay with me as we go further down the rabbit hole that is Scottish history and try to learn more about the clan of the curved mouth.
