Notes

In 1318 Sir Duncan Campbell, son of Donald, younger brother of Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe received a charter of the lands of Loudoun and Stevenson from King Robert I in a barony with Loudoun as its caput, for services of a knight. This was following his marriage to Susanna Crawford, heiress of Loudoun with whom also came the office of hereditary Sheriff of Ayr. Thus started the important branch of the Campbells, later Earls of Loudoun.

There is a complication in that early usage, following local pronunciation, often used Loudoun for Lothian - again for a geographical name but one with no Campbell connections.

Another Reference ...
Sir Duncan Campbell, who married Susanna, daughter and heiress of Sir Reginald Craufurd of Loudoun, was the second son of Sir Donald Campbell, second son of Sir Colin More Campbell of Lochow, ancestor of the Argyle family. They had a charter from Robert L dated 4th January 1318, " to Duncan Cambell and Susanna, spouse sue, of the lands of Loudoun and Steuinstoun, predictos Duncanus et Susannam, sponsam suam, hereditarie contingentes ratione dicte spouse." By this marriage he became Sheriff of Ayr as well as proprietor of the estate of Loudoun.

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.
