The Raschoille property was purchased by John Campbell [7th] of Duntroon from Allester Makesag on 7th August 1590, and thus remained in Campbell hands for nearly two hundred years. The name appears in documents under a variety of spellings-Raschoille, Raschellie, Raschylie, Raskaillie, Raskelzie, etc.-and I have merely chosen the first because it happens to be the most recent. As regards the pronunciation, it is sounded almost exactly like the English word " rashly."
It has been suggested that-present heir male of Duntroon family might be found, as a descendant of John Campbell of Duntroon (dispossessed in 1671), in humble circumstances.It is more probable that John left no male issue, and so the headship of the family passed to the line of his next brother, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille.
Alexander Campbell of Raschoille, who was the second son of Patrick of Duntroon, and received a charter of Raschoille from his father on 15 Nov. 1659.
On 27 July 1677, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille witnessed the charter to his cousin, Colin Campbell of Glencharran, and in the years 1670, 1671, 1672, 1679 and 1680 we find him as Martay of Ariskeodnish, and in 1681 as Deputy Martay. His wife was Margaret, daughter of Colin Campbell of Blairintibbert, who appears as Margaret, relict of Alexander Campbell of Raschoille, in the Account of the Plunderings in July 1685, where it is stated that she was living in the isle of Mack
