Notes

GEORGE WILLIAM, sixth Duke of Argyll, a handsome man of pleasure, and a friend of the Prince Regent, whose extravagances deeply injured the family estates, and alienated Castle Campbell and other outlying possessions of the house.

See "The Bad Duke and the Good Duke" in the Winter 2006 issue of the CCSNA Journal. Reportedly had numerous illegitimate offspring.

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.
