Historical Context
Clan Campbell was a formidable force in the West of Scotland, particularly in Argyllshire. Known as Diarmid, they were granted the title of Lordship of Lochow in the early 13th century. Colin Campbell of Lochow, an influential figure, was knighted around 1280. The Campbells later rose to prominence as Earls of Argyll. In 1701, William of Orange conferred a Dukedom to the 10th Earl, while the 9th Earl faced execution in 1685 for his role in the Monmouth Rebellion. The Campbells significantly influenced state affairs, holding prestigious positions such as Hereditary Lord Justice General and Admiral for Scotland's Western Coasts and Isles.
