Notes

Said to have built Taymouth Castle.

6th Laird Campbell of Glenorchy. Known as 'Calein the Grey'. In 1550 Colin had built Balloch Castle, which was eventually extended to form Tayside Castle, considered to be today the finest and most important Scottish castle in private hands. Tayside remained in Campbell hands until shortly after WW1 when the Breadalbane Estate was broken up.

Some believe that all the children were from the other wife.

If you have a DNA test and a family tree in the form of a GEDCOM please consider a submission to the Project so we can obtain the widest coverage possible for Campbell related lineages.

Also if you have time to volunteer, we are seeking people to help us verify and correct submissions, generally date formats, place name conventions, sources citations etc. The Project also needs help at Wikitree. If interested just use the contact form and let us know!

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”.
