  • Notes 
    • The Campbells claim that Colin Maol Maith married the neice of King Alexander, although there is no written record found anywhere other than in the Campbell genealogy.

      According to Clan MacTavish, Colin Maol Maith was the father of Taus Coir, progenitor of Clan MacTavish. i.e., "Colin MacDuine of Lochow, (Colin Maol Maith-Good bald Colin) the head of the Clan MacDuine, married to a niece of the King, by whom he had one son, Gillespick. On her death he married (1105-1107 AD) a daughter of Sweyne of Skipniche or Skipness Castle in Northern Kyntyr, having by her two sons, Taus or Tavis and Iver. From the former of these the Clan MacTavish claims descent and from Iver- a Scandinavian and not a Celtic name, the Clan MacIver Campbell of Asknish in Glassarie claims descent. It is thus that J.F. Campbell in his "West Highland Tales" says: "The Clan MacTavish is a branch of the Clan Campbell".

What is a clan?

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent. Little doubt there was a progenitor who was first known as “Cam Beul”. Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.

However, it should be clear from the beginning of our research that no one family has every made up a “clan”.
