- Testified in the trial of Sir John Campbell of Ardkinglass.
Sir John Campbell of Calder was murdered in 1591. His murderer was said to be Sir John Campbell of Ardkinglass, and he was brought to trial. During the second trial of Ardkinglass there is some incredible testimoney which convincingly reveals that Ardkinglass was involved in witchcraft. A man by the name of McQueen was named as a great warlock and wizard in Argyll. Margaret Campbell, the widow of John Campbell of Cabrachan, who was brother of Campbell of Lochnell confessed in great detail to the extent of the witchcraft in which Campbell of Ardkinglass was involved, speaking of the witches of Lorn. Margaret Campbell said the witches were taught their craft by MacEller of Cruachan who had learned in turn from the Pryoress of Icolmkill.
