From the Highlands of Scotland
About The Campbell of Breadalbane Modern Tartan
Clan Campbell is a prolific and historically influential Highland Scottish clan with many branches, claiming descent from Gille Easpaig (Gillespie) Caim beul O Duibhne, who lived in the early 13th century. He married Eva O Duibhne, heiress of Lochow, and from them descended a long line of Lairds of Lochow and immensely powerful Scottish aristocrats, including the dukes of Argyll.
For centuries they wielded enormous power in Scotland. As with many Highland Scottish clan names, the surname was adopted not merely by the descendants but also retainers of the original clan founders. - John Campbell (1653-1727/8), born in Scotland, was postmaster general of Boston and published the Boston News-Letter (1704-22), the first continuously published newspaper in America.
