Eight centuries ago, Gillespie Campbell acquired, by inaiTiage with an heiress, the lordship of Locliow, in Ai-gyllshire, and from him descended, Sir Colin Campbell, of Locliow, who, dis- tinguished as well by the great acquisitions he had made to his estate as by his achievements in war, obtained the surname of More, or Great ; and from him the chief of the house is in the Gaelic styled, to this day, MacCa- LAIN More. He was kuight«d by Alexan- der III, 1280, and was one of the nominees 129 1 , on t he part of Robert Bruce, in the contest for the crown of Scotland. This renowned and gallant chieftain was slain in a conflict with his powerful neighbour, the Lord of Lorn, at a place called the String of Lorn, where a cairn was erected over his grave. The event occasioned continued feuds for a series of years between the houses of Lochow and Lorn, which terminated at last by the marriage of the first Earl of Argyll with the heiress of Lorn.

The king had so high a sense of Campbell's services that he gave him his sister, Lady Mary Bruce, in marriage, and granted to him and his said wife, and John their son, all the lands which belonged to David de Strathbogie, Earl of Atholl. When the triumph of Bannock- burn had decided the independence of Scot- land, Sir Neil Campbell was one of the great barons in the parliament which met at Ayr, 26th April, 1315, and fixed the succession to the Crown.
