Campbell
Ancient Scottish family

Its members have held the titles of Argyll, Breadalbane and Cawdor. Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochow was created Lord Campbell (1445), and his successor was created Earl of Argyll (1457). From his younger son, Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy (c.1400-78), are descended the earls and marquises of Breadalbane and from the younger son of the second Earl of Argyll, who fell at Flodden (1513), the earls of Cawdor.
