Scottish Clans: The story behind Clan Campbell
Vložit

- Every weekend, Carl MacDougall, will tell the story of one of Scotland's famous Clans. This weekend, we take a look at the Campbells.
THEIR reputation was sealed when Captain Robert Campbell of Glen Lyon led the massacre of his MacDonald hosts at Glencoe - an act of betrayal that has forever stained the Campbell name.
But the Glencoe Massacre can be seen the culmination of a feud that began almost 500 years previously when the Campbells fell out with the MacDougalls, who were MacDonald kinsmen. They fought in a place that became known as the Red Ford, because the burn is said to have run with blood.

Really feels quite profound reading all the comments from fellow Campbell's! Distant family! Much love to you all from Adelaide, Australia ❤
What’s ironic is, many generations later, I am a descendant of the Campbells on my fathers side, and descended from the MacDonalds on my mother’s side. My grandma still shares the story of the Glencoe Massacre (as she heard it) to this day with my family. History is strange and wonderful.
Some here, im American of Scottish decent. Campbell from my mothers side and Cameron from my father. I've heard stories about Glencoe from my elders as well.
Me to from England
The MacDonalds forget they massacred far more Campbell’s in Inverary than we killed (36) in Glencoe. Proud Texan and Campbell.
Well said. McDonald's slaughtered woman and children at Inverary just an unprotected small coastal village. Glencoe came a few years afterwards. Unlike Inverary, Glencoe wasn't an attack upon order of the Clan Campbell. Glencoe was a small regiment or platoon under royal order, which happened to have been led by a Campbell and as usual with us being a very militaristic Clan also contained several Campbell's among other Clan names.
Glencoe to be frank has always been used as propaganda by the jealous upon the ignorant. Those with many true allies usually have a surplus of true enemy's. Never forget we were one of Robert the Bruce's staunchest allies against the English. Then later we were the Clan that gave Rob Roy protection and sanctuary.
We were key to stopping the Catholics and their pretender king taking over Scotland and England. Ne Obliviscaris!!
How many Lamonts did the Campbells kill at Dunoon?? Selective history
Well said Slainte from Edinburgh
@@wearywanderer2722 Not enough

This is Awesome my family tree is from the Campbell clan in Scotland my Grandfather and my Mother last name are Campbell I did the Campbell family tree and have found out that my family came to America during the late 1700s in north Carolina I'm proud to still have Campbell clan family blood in me
Just like Trump ,campbells hated by many
@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373 What?
I’m a step relative of some Campbells descended from this clan and they are very loving people, they always treated me and my family the same as their own blood, even more so than some of my actual blood relatives
I am Campbell but also have ancestors on my mother's side with Campbell connection's I live in Ulster but feel a very strong sense of Scottishness in me I intend to go on a tour next year to research my roots.
+Jonathan Campbell The Ulster group: Scot-Irish people. I'm looking for relatives in Ireland. Do you still live in Ulster? Apologies, I am a Campbell in US but, wish to stop in Ireland to find family before I move to London. I am told that no one is allowed in Ireland unless let go by relatives as a residential right. Is it possible to visit?
+Jonathan Campbell Hi, kinsman! I'm a Campbell, too. Did you go on your trip yet? I'm planning a trip to Scotland as well.
I just found out today that my great grandfather was a Campbell
You got branches on Canada. I’m one of them. We’re not roots, but that’s something
I am so very proud of my Campbell ancestors-their strength, their undying courage, their determination and ability to overcome every obstacle, whatever it might be❗️
LaRue Campbell
Long may we live!!
My Gram was a Campbell and I love learning of our heritage ❤

Add me mate.. Warwick campbell in Melbourne.
This makes me even more proud to have been born a Campbell!
I’m the 8 great granddaughter of Archibald Campbell his daughter Lady Mary is the line I’m from
Did my ancestry and found out I'm descended from the earls of cawdor. Can't wait to find out more about my family. Love from Canada❤
Proud to be a member of the Campbell clan
It's highly ironic, at least to me, that my lineage is a heavy blend of both the Macdonald and Campbell clan...Like the lineage is so mixed I'm shocked I'm not sprouting a third limb lmao.
Romeo and Juliet
To my grandfather it was always so simple. The MacDonalds were traitors to the crown, and our boys refused to be.
I don't know much of my heritage, being Canadian. But I'm proud to be a loyal Campbell.
Peter T. Traitors you say. I respectfully disagree. How can you hold ur head high after the episode at Glen Coe. A place which I have been too many times I might add.
I agree, Peter!
THE KING ORDERED IT!!!
McDonald's slaughtered woman and children at Inverary, just a few years before Glencoe. Unlike the Inverary slaughter, Glencoe wasn't an attack ordered by Clan Campbell, it was a regiment under royal order which happened to have been led by a Campbell, and being a southern regiment it had contained several Campbell's among other Clan names. Glencoe was and still is used as propaganda by the jealous upon the Ignorant. With many allies comes many enemy's.
Never forget we were one of William Wallace's and Robert the Bruce's staunchest allies against the English for independence. Then later we were the Clan that gave Scottish hero Rob Roy sanctuary and protection. We were also key in stopping the Catholics and their pretender king taking over Scotland and England with our regiments, Clansmen and allies. Ne Obliviscaris! Long live Scotland!
hiphopbopclop Jorge what kind of weed you been smoking 🌿wanker 🖕
Cruachan!
proud Campbell living in Georgia.
My Great Grandmother was a Campbell. Though she was born on the isle of Jersey (according to genealogy sites) and emigrated to Canada, her siblings were from Dundee, Scotland. 😎👍
Although I'm not a scot I still get shit for my last name. As unfortunate it is I still hold my ground because I know my fathers worked hard so we could exist. Long live clan Campbell
I`m a Campbell too, because the grandfather from my mother was an Campbell!!
Oof im a Campbell from Pennsylvania
Welcome Mary from Edinburgh
The last name Campbell doesn’t exactly mean ur in the clan. It’s a very common last name
campbell of cowder
SAME HERE!! Lancaster PA with Campbell blood running through me! Hello family
It's kind of funny because one of my best friends is a MacDonald! It's so cool to learn about my heritage
help me I married a campbell,still in love 38 years later
Your one lucky man. I am not sure why your saying Help me. I am a Campbell 🙂
Hi . I’m part Scottish . I have learnt Clan Campbell is my clan through my nana/grandma. I reside in New Zealand. I would love to learn more about my history
My mother loved talking about our Scottish ancestry, but she always told us that our ancestors, the Campbells, were not well-liked.
I am a Member of the Clan Campbell through my Mother’s Mother Maiden Name.My surname McCarthy goes back to the Kings of Ireland.
I am proud to have Nobility in my Family Ancestry.❤️.
I'm surprised there's so many US and Canadian Campbell's, in a northern Irish Campbell myself
Never heard of a Campbell from Ireland by the way I am a Scottish Campbell Slainte from Edinburgh.
I have a large Scottish ancestry. And a Northern Ireland connection to the Campbell name
New layer to your surprise when you find out some of us are black lol
My grandmother’s father came from Scotland. He held from the clan Campbell. The story goes one day a man from Scotland came to give the old Timer his fiefdom back home in Scotland. My grandmother’s father chased that man off with a pitchfork yelling “I never go back to that mud bog.” My great aunts spoke of it as if they lost their castle. Lol
im a MacDonald (im named Donald now) but im from Canada and my family friends are cambells. weird
It's called 'Stockholm Syndrome' !
Yeah I’m a Campbell of argyll and a Robinson of caribou and I know a family of macdonalds from over there in Nova Scotia, Canada. Haven’t checked to see if they’re real Mac Donald’s or not.
My parents told me mom's side came from the Campbell clan. When they traveled to Scotland they mentioned that to a local and the local was like "you're too nice to be related to them" lol
On a trip to Scotland several years ago the tour stopped in Glen Coe at a restaurant. The guide took Dad and me up to the reception desk so we could take some pictures. Next to the sign that said "No thieves or Campbells"! When I paid I used cash. It is rumored that Glen Campbell was asked to leave this establishment one time...
I was told that the Campbell Clan and Burns's were close or something like that was passed down in my family history from my great great grandfather who was a Burns like I am.
There is a great story Mom told me about my gradnpa happened when he was in Scotland during WWII. When he got lost getting somewhere, he tried asking an old lady for directions. When she asked for his name, he replied "Arthur Campbell." She looked at him, and said, "I thought so, you look like a Campbell," then slammed her door in his face. The best part is that he wasn't even European, let alone Scottish, but a full, red-blooded American.
I've never so much as ever been to Scotland, but am still damn proud of my heritage, and my clan. Ne Obliviscaris!
i'm a descendent of the campbells on my dads side. more specifically my dads dad side. my granddads mom (my great grandma) was the last in the family to truly carry the campbell name.
Interesting information
I also have a pin thing that goes on a kilt when a person goes into battle and it has the family symbol and motto.
A pin thing lol I think you mean a kilt pin.they are used on the kilt if you are going into battle or not.Which motto does it have on it it’s unusual for a clan motto to be on a kilt pin. Slainte from Edinburgh.
Hey my mom is a Campbell I gues my ancestors were part of a very rich clan
love this story got the clan symbol done
Campbell from Leicester grandfather was a Scottish Campbell
Oh my god I have Campbell as my second maybe I’m linked to this family my nana always kept secret about her family’s background
If you have Campbell blood be proud as we are still going strong here in Scotland and we were one of the most powerful clans in Scotland,the feud between the McDonald’s and the Campbells went back years and was not just about Glencoe at that time the Clans were a law unto themselves and fought amongst each other all the time and lived by their own ancient laws which were very fierce.Slainte from a Campbell in Edinburgh Scotland.
Weve got to stick together
My fourth great grandfather was Farquhard Campbell, he bought a Demerara sugar plantation in Guyana, his daughter was of natural birth i.e. illegitimate and married a man from Bristol whose descendants were the shortest serving prime minister, ( now Liz truss), he was friends with William Wilberforce and against slavery. Strange when I thought I had no Scottish blood.
Finally a non-biased version of the events. Wish it were longer though
My husband is descendant to Campbell's, also. He is also family to Fanning's of Ireland as well.
Proud Campbell Clan descendant.
Fascinating!

The Campell family are my late cousins
I'm a Campbell and in my instincts since birth are, heavy paternal watch, hard work and success, boxing, weight lifting, loyalty to my good nation, enjoying good music and above all else reverence to the Lord Almighty Jesus The Christ against my sinful nature. Deal with it!

I'm a proud Campbell middle name McFarlane from my father born in Stirling and my mother was a sinclair
My mother was a Campbell from her father's side,my grandmother was a Ryan....
I've a question. .. My Family are Camble's. They are Catholic and came from Ireland.. Dark hair and more short in height. Didn't look like the Brennan side of my Family. The Camble side has blue eyes. I know there's different branches of Campbell. What branch was Catholic.
Can you do some more Clan Campbell videos? I'm a Campbell myself and find it hard to learn about my heritage due to a lack of information at my disposal.
