| Notes |
- 1 - 2nd Lord Campbell, succeeded his grandfather 1453 while still in his minority, and was created Earl of Argyll in 1457.
John Macdonald Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross was tried for treason after an armed uprising against King James III. He was tried by his peers-Argyll, Atholl, Huntly, and Crawford-in 1476 he forfeited his earldom of Ross and his lands in Inverness, Knapdalc, Kintyre, and Nairn.
2 - 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 kidnapped 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.

3 - When, in 1489, Colin Campbell, first Earl of Argyll and Chancellor of Scotland, took possession of the castle that stands above Dollar, which in those days was spelt Dolour, meaning grief, near the Burn of Sorrow and Windy Pass, he decidd that its name must be changed. It was called The Gloume. It was had enough to live near the Burn of Sorrow, but to send out dinner invitations to Castle Gloom just wasn't on. What was the origin of all these lugubrious place-names is unknown. Perhaps the deed that inspired them was so awful that no one would mention it for centuries. In order to change the name to Castle Campbell,
