Notes

From the wording of the Confirmation of 1592, I judge that Duncan was Archibald's only son ; and he is probably identical with the Duncan Campbell " in Lairghunsoun," who was one of the witnesses, on 29 August 1612, to a sasine by Donald McGilchrist. He appears never to have succeeded to the property, since, on 29 October 1684. we find Niall Campbell of Lergnachunzeon receiving from Archibald, Bishop of the Isles, a Precept of Clare Constat of the lands of Lergnachunzeon, etc., as heir to his father, the deceased Duncan Campbell of Lergnachunzeon, younger.

When a young man, Duncan gave his sword to the smith at Slochmhullein (the hamlet outside Duntroon Castle) to sharpen. When it was ready, Duncan swung it round to test its balance, and inadvertently cut off the unfortunate smith's head, being himself drenched in blood as a result. Hence his name has come to us by tradition as " Donachie
na fola " (" Bloody Duncan ").

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.
