  • Notes 
    • The House of Argyll And The Collateral Branches Of The Clan Campbell From The Year 420 To The Present Time.

      Patrick Campbell, the eldest, was called Pedrig Mhea, ix,, Mild or Soft Patrick, by way of irony, he being too bold and hardy. He was esteemed a chieftain of the first prowess and abilities, and distinguished himself in extirpating the Clan Gregor in the latter end of the reign of King James the Sixth, anno 1623, which was then considered a meritorious and lawful action, authorized by Royal Commission and Acts of Parliament. He was at last, however, overpowered by the MacGregors in a conflict near the Kirk of Killin, in Breadalbane, and mortally wounded with an arrow, after having slain eighteen of them with his own arm. Of the wounds received in this action Patrick died soon after. But, before his death, sent his favorite gun to the house of Craignish, where it remained long as a valuable curiosity, being only thirty inches long in the barrel, and was given by George Campbell of Craignish, as a relict of antiquity to his brother-in-law, Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochnell.
