1 TITL Of Argyll In 1457 Sir Calein Dubh - Black Colin, 1st laird of Glenorchy who became progenitor of the Campbells of Breadalbane and guardian of Colin Earl of Argyll during the latter's minority. Clan Campbell of Breadalbane Origin of Clan Campbell of Breadalbane Sir Colin Campbell, son of Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochow, is regarded as founder of the Breadalbane branch of Clan Campbell. He inherited the lands of Glenorchy from this father. Through marriage to a daughter of Lord Lorn, he acquired one third of the lands of Lorn. =============== The original Castle of Inverary was built for Colin in the middle of the 15th century by his uncle, Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy. The family moved from Loch Awe to Inveraray. COLIN 1453-1493 son of Archibald Roy, 2nd son of Sir Duncan, created Earl of Argyll in 1457, married to Isabel heiress to John Stewart, 3rd Lord of Lorne and thus added part of the lordship of Campbell in the parish of Dollar to his titles. He did not, as is generally stated, acquire by this marriage any part of the lordship of Lorn (which passed to Walter, brother of John, the fourth Lord Innermeath, and heir of entail), but obtained that lordship by exchanging the lands of Baldunning and Innerdunning, etc. in Perthshire, with the said Walter. In 1457 he was by James III. created Earl of Argyll and appointed Royal Lieutenant. In 1470 he was created baron of Lorn, and in 1481 he received a grant of much of Knapdale including the Keepership of Castle Sween or Sweyn, which had previously been held by the Lord of the Isles. Though Chancellor of Scotland, Royal Lieutenant for the West and Master of the King's Household, he readily joined Douglas, Earl of Angus, the Homes and the Hepburns in the plot that led to the slaying of King James III. at Sauchieburn, near Stirling, 1488. In 1484 he kidapped the child heir of the Lordship of the Isles, Donald Dubh after the Battle of Bloody Bay off Mull. He died in 1493. His younger son, Thomas, was the ancestor of the Campbells of Lundie, in Forfarshire. Another daughter was married to Torquil Macleod of the Lewis. ================ First Earl to Glenarchy... 1St Earl Of Aryll Colin Campbell. Born ABT 1428 of,Glenorchy,Argyllshire,Scotland.
