@J Wilcox I know the truth, do you? Don't be so quick to think as a Campbell. I'd hesitate to do the same in the name times. I will go against the grain, I will fight for what I believe, even if it goes against what you're fighting for and your beliefs. Being a warrior isn't for everyone, clearly not for you.
Jeanine Campbell Well he said it was payback they were also murdered ,,,,,My Grandmother said we would have been in with Clan Campbell, but we are Harris’s..... we came from Dublin but were Scotts????? I am confused!!!!! We are Americans now, our family anyway. Are we probably Ulster Scotts????
Don't listen to that malarkey. We have more allies then enemies. But yes, there is no neutral ground. And screw the haters. Bunch of invaders that are mad cause we are too tough to kill off and take our land. It's like being mad at a woman that beats up a guy that tried to rape her. Never forget!
The best clan is clan Wallace then clan O'Brien. These my first and second choices. My family the Scots-Irish of Ulster. Peace on Earth. Goodwill to every living creature.
Hi Jeannie Your clan took renumeration by way of payment from the English Crown . The Campbells went with a troop of soldiers , led by a man called Barbour . They stayed for 12 days with the McDonald Clan Chief and his family and friends and relatives in Clan McDonald Houses . They were kept warm and were well fed . They had already signed in advance a contract with the English King to Murder the whole Clan , including women and children . They arose and in the dark hours of the night , put all to the sword and killed as many as they were able . A very few escaped out and up into the mountains and the snow . They are definitely not the best , or most honorable clan in Scotland . The shame that those murdering men from Clan Campbell brought on their Clan that night , has long been seen as a most terrible massacre of unarmed innocent folk , from Clan Donald , who were providing genuine hospitality to them . A very terrible and brutal massacre was committed on that fateful night by that sept of Clan Campbell . That shameful act , that brought complete and utter disgust against the name of Clan Campbell , by all the combined Clans of Scotland for the centurys to come . Aye And that is the complete truth .

I'm Clan Campbell as well! My dad has two books of our family tree on his maternal and paternal side. Campbell is my grandfather. McIntosh is my grandmother. ❤❤
So interesting! Great grandfather was a Campbell from New England. I've traced ancestry to Argyll but there are so many men with the same name that it's hard to get clear ancestry beyond that. 💙💚💙
No. But the family tree doesn’t lie. I have family who has us traced all the way back. Just found out recently. I’m obviously very descendant. But my mother’s maiden name is Campbell. My cousin has our family crest on his back now. My uncle Jeff has our family tree laid out at his house. Goes way back. It’s crazy.

Being a Campbell.... You cant really use braveheart as a reference due to it being filled with misinformation. But I do think the Campbell's were part of the fight for Scotland.
@@its_Dicey more or less the truth beings.. Yes England enslaved scotland. Yea William wallace and robert the bruce were real.... But from what I gathered thats about it. Lol. And believe me. Braveheart is one of my favorite movies. Just historically inaccurate from what ive been told.

It has been almost entirely deleted from history that of some of the particular 38 MacDonald's killed, had got hold of a very young Campbell lass and what they did to her was horrific. With no other way to seek certain retribution and ensure they couldn't do the same again to a Campbell or any other lass, the few Campbells eventually pretended to agree to make peace so they could rise in the night and kill the perpetrators. The MacDonalds had more political favour with the CATHOLIC English and powerful ROME, so this fact is now hard to track down except in one antiquarian book I read, and on a website that is now gone. Deleting the written truth is the equivalent of book burning.
The narrator is a MacDonald. This whole documentary avoids the early history. We are ancient Scots. Macdonalds are Norse/Irish. So who's land did we take? Our own. We took it back. Don't get mad because you can't kill us off. Never forget!
Sorry to disappoint you Douglas, but the surname Campbell has a johnny-come-lately Norman origin. Here let me quote you this from page 4 in the Introductory of the book titled 'The Mac Callum More: A History of the Argyll Family from the Earliest Times' by the Rev. Hely Smith. "In the record of the parliament held by Robert Bruce, in 1320, the then head of the family is entered as Sir Nigel de Campo-bello, pointing at once to the Norman origin of the name, and confirming the tradition that the first Campbell was a Norman Knight named Campo-bello." archive.org/details/maccallummorehis00smit/page/4/mode/2up?view=theater This must be very disappointing for you. Sorry that Campbell is not an "ancient" Scottish name, you know like you guys have been trying to claim..
@@michaelmacdonell2986 Nope it's Gaelic. It's from Caimbuel. It's somewhat related to Mac Diarmid or whatever. But yeah it is in fact Brythonic and from Strathclyde.

Irrelevant question: I’m English but my grandma was a Scottish Campbell, does that still make me a clan Campbell descendent even though I don’t have the name, but I still have the blood?
Of course, Scottish people are superstitious people who fear, respect, and honor their ancestors to the point it's in their daily life! Pride means everything and you should defend it to the death! Blood never runs cold unless you're dead
Also hatred between The MacGregors and the Campbells. Archibald Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll was the instigator of the Battle of Glen Fruin which was fought on the 7th of February 1603 between Clan Gregor and Clan Colquhoun. Although the Colquhoun army of 800 men was vastly superior in number to the MacGregor army of 350 men, The MacGregors used the boggy terrain to their advantage by being on dry high ground while the Colquhoun army were down in the bottom of the glen on boggy ground. The MacGregor army split into two forces, they attacked the Colquhoun army from the front and the rear leaving them with no way of escape. Half of the Colquhoun army were on horseback which were useless in the freezing winter bog, the result was a rout for the MacGregor's with 150 to 200 Colquhoun's dead compared to a handful of MacGregor's. Campbell's plan had worked and King James VI proscribed the MacGregor clan later that year, Campbell was awarded the MacGregor land for his loyalty to the crown. Campbell hunted MacGregors using black bloodhounds and executed those that he caught, at Campbell's Finlarig Castle he had a beheading pit built for MacGregor clansmen' heads. Little wonder that the Campbell name is so hated in Scotland to this day.
Casey Campbell here, Proud of my family the good and the bad. People do what they do when they do it because it's what's in their heart in the moment. My neighbor is a McDonald we get on just fine. No matter the feud between the families.

@@LightUp2020 Not to be offensive, but isn't that a long time to hold a grudge? But, family feud did help out with the Hatfields and the McCoys. Maybe give that a shot?

I'm sure you'll get over it at some point because anger only eats you up inside, not anyone else. And your heslth is way more important than some grudge that makes you angry. eace be with you my friend.
I cannot believe that he asked about the man not being very “Christian!” Neither the Catholics nor the Church of England were very “Christian.” The hierarchy were all Christian in name only. Most of the people could not read and even if they could there were few Bibles to be had even after they stopped burning people at the stake for possessing even a page of scripture. Europe looked very religious with the large Cathedrals and statues but real knowledge and of what they professed to believe was scant to say the least. Understanding was bill. The Roman church had locked away the Bible hundreds of years prior so that no one would know that they were creating their own religion and making their own rules. The world still suffers from ignorance of the truth.
Glen Orchy? Not in Argyll? It was the territories of the Siol Alpin long before that. We are talking of the union of Dal Riata and the Picts under MacAlpin long before French De Brus, and the Stewards come to light in this part of the world and the Campbell is used as tax collecting cannon fodder or better yet given leave to poach Clan Gregor. There is a saying among the old clans of Scotland, we are celtic, everyone else is French.

I've never had any real difficulty. If you behave respectfully you won't have any problems. Your Americanness has more potential to cause problems than carrying the Campbell name. I do pay cash and keep a low profile in Glen Coe, however...

Hi Jeannie
Your clan took renumeration by way of payment from the English Crown .
The Campbells went with a troop of soldiers , led by a man
called Barbour .
They stayed for 12 days with the McDonald Clan Chief and his family and friends and relatives in Clan McDonald Houses . They were kept warm and were well fed .
They had already signed in advance a contract with the English King to Murder the whole Clan , including women and children .
They arose and in the dark hours of the night , put all to the sword and killed as many as they were able .
A very few escaped out and up into the mountains and the snow .
They are definitely not the best , or most honorable clan in Scotland .
The shame that those murdering men from Clan Campbell brought on their Clan that night , has long been seen as a most terrible massacre of unarmed innocent folk , from Clan Donald , who were providing genuine hospitality to them .
A very terrible and brutal massacre was committed on that fateful night by that sept of Clan Campbell .
That shameful act , that brought complete and utter disgust against the name of Clan Campbell , by all the combined Clans of Scotland for the centurys to come .
Aye

@@LightUp2020 Not to be offensive, but isn't that a long time to hold a grudge? But, family feud did help out with the Hatfields and the McCoys. Maybe give that a shot? The Calders and the Campbells on Family Feud? Look, we are all brothers in this world and it does not matter what the last name is. I'm sure you'll get over it at some point because anger only eats you up inside, not anyone else. And your heslth is way more important than some grudge that makes you angry. eace be with you my friend.
The Campbells are who the Boltons in Game of thrones, are base on. And Idonna think it’s far off….
I cannot believe that he asked about the man not being very “Christian!” Neither the Catholics nor the Church of England were very “Christian.” The hierarchy were all Christian in name only. Most of the people could not read and even if they could there were few Bibles to be had even after they stopped burning people at the stake for possessing even a page of scripture. Europe looked very religious with the large Cathedrals and statues but real knowledge and of what they professed to believe was scant to say the least. Understanding was bill.
The Roman church had locked away the Bible hundreds of years prior so that no one would know that they were creating their own religion and making their own rules. The world still suffers from ignorance of the truth.
I'm related to the Clan Campbell's. . My grandmother on my dad's side of the family was a Campbell and then she married my grandfather Dana Briggs.
My grandmother on my father's side was also a Campbell.

That's awesome 👍.
My line has a Briggs-Campbell marriage...or was it Bowen? brb..Bowen, his mother was a Briggs. Close enough...;)
My name would be Campbell if not for illegitimacy. Proud of my heritage
Be proud of our heritage but don't allow it to cloud judgement of others for there's ne obliviscaris
My maiden name is Campbell. :)
Plenty of illegitimates in the Campbell legacy. Don't let that deter you! ;) It's in your blood.
Margaret Campbell is my name, im named after my grandmother , great grandmother etc etc. Proud scot
Not much on Campbell's, since the line of Alpin should be the rightful Earls of Argyll. Grigorach! S Rioghal Mo Dhream!
DESPITE THEM ALL
Yes indeed
@@corrinenolan344 Absolutely
Well Alpins line was carried on through the chiefs of Siol Alpin
Glen Orchy? Not in Argyll? It was the territories of the Siol Alpin long before that. We are talking of the union of Dal Riata and the Picts under MacAlpin long before French De Brus, and the Stewards come to light in this part of the world and the Campbell is used as tax collecting cannon fodder or better yet given leave to poach Clan Gregor. There is a saying among the old clans of Scotland, we are celtic, everyone else is French.

I am a Campbell my blood not by name but it is really funny how much the hatred between clans is still around today.
I think alot of that is just hearing this part of the story, told from one side. The two families intermarried early on when it was convenient for both. Alot of the banter now is in jest and can be great fun...;)
I am a direct descendant of The Clan MacCloud from the isle of Skye and also of the Clan Campbell...the MacDonnells was responsible for nearly wiping out all of the Clan MacCloud and also murdered hundreds of Campbell’s as well...so what if the MacDonnells copped a bit of payback for their actions...one day soon I hope to have the money to visit Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye...❤️❤️❤️
hey im trying to reach out to other campbells my name is jason campbell and that would be really cool to see Dunvegan Castle.
Don’t worry Jason we are all well connected The Campbell’s being decendant’s and bloodline of the Clan MacCloud’s...✌️
@@gailshepherd10 cool hey does anyone in your family have anger issues? cause i do my dad does and my grandfather does.
Hey One Gamer Jason Campbell...the answer is “ YES “...it most definately is the Scottish brood in us...after many years I have learnt to control any anger issues...let me just say “ If anyone gives me the you know what’s “...I just take my leave of them and the situation and return home to my little piece of Heaven that I live in with my little fluffy earth Angel Dog that I call “ Baby “...and chill out and meditate. That’s the trick to killing it straight away...no more anger issue’s...but put it this way I refuse to go, buy or eat “MacDonnell’s” fast food out let’s...and that’s why they say fast food will kill you...lol...!!!...🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
@@gailshepherd10 yeah i hear ya i also meditate from time-to-time im not easy to upset but when i do get upset i lash out in a fit of rage usually not physical. its only gotten physical twice and both times i went blank and by time i realized what id done it was too late like one time my friend and i were playing super mario bros on the wii an my friend died to a goomba i laughed he then jokingly said shut up and hit my shoulder(i was now laughing uncontrollably) so he hit me in the same spot like idk 10-15 times before i asked him to stop he did it once more and i said ok dude stop he did it again so i hit him back on his shoulder he then hit me in the face i blacked out when i came-to his glasses were broken and my older brother (who had been watching the whole time)was holding my arms behind my back i felt terrible but we made up later that week luckily i was like 9-10 so i didnt do too much damage.
How would an American Campbell be received today while visiting Scottland? My husband is a Campbell, and I am a Ewing by my mother's line.
Just fine....alot of this is old hat.
I've never had any real difficulty. If you behave respectfully you won't have any problems. Your Americanness has more potential to cause problems than carrying the Campbell name. I do pay cash and keep a low profile in Glen Coe, however...
Seems like Campbell had to stop the MacDonalds because the MacDonalds were not going to stop.
Way Different Times, family. Enjoy learning about my ancestors. There are quite a few of us Campbells come to find out.
I'm Proud to be a campbell
same brother
Many a young person nowadays use the comment here i qoute to be proud my question is why dont any of these young people say to be gratefull to be?...
even in 1980's, a campbell was often 'scunner campbell'- a tarrin' o a' wi' a big brush- l quite agree, but no really meant that seriously.
My Camble Family line is the Catholic line.
My father is a Campbell and my mother a Lambert...God help me!
Great Doco Paul.

I would think the kidnapped kid would be grateful that she did not get done away with. By her "side"
I loved it thank you.
I’m a Campbell and proud…
Naill (Neil) Campbell who was married to Robert the Bruce’s sister was my direct ancestor but with his first wife in my lineage of Alyse de Crawford.
Can i go to our Castel ??? is my essence I HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH SOUTH AFRICA
the hate for clan campbell does not derive from one incident but a long history of of campbell aquisition by force and lies
Exactly
You say that like no other clan or group of people were acting the same way in that place and time.
MacIntyre here. Y'all owe me a beer or something, shame in your ancestors lol
I will be straight we will take what is ours.
I’m a Campbell and proud to say it !
My ancestors are Campbells Sir John Campbell 1st Earl of Cawdor, Lord of Lorn, Lord of Thane was my 15th great grandfather
Live long MacGregor clan
Aye, I'll second that.
My home town of Campbell, our fave restaurant is McDonald's 🤔

Have just discovered I am from clan Campbell.
Welcome to the clan. Be proud of our heritage.
4th generation Campbell from mother side Donald Campbell born there1843, I'm a Campbell Bennett, the second name is Irish from New South wales.
Campbell here. F Macdonald. Revenge
Amazing the Shit Some Very Corrupt People Still Try To Pull To This Day, In America.
Christians in that time let children loose to live in woods on there own.
Learn about your ancestors, they said. It will be fun, they said.
So Macdonald's and Campbells enemies?
Yes, and have been for centuries.
I am Campbell because my grandmother maiden name was Edith Campbell.
I am a Campbell too and I guess the 2nd black person to watch this lol 😂
😊
I'm a Campbell 100% pure blooded
Archibald Gruamach Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll is my 11th great grandfather.
No kidding Mr Hunter. Talk about a COI
This is really odd. It feels like a hit piece against the smaller of 2 clans that still hate each other. nothing to learn here...
How come noone ever cover the Sept to the clans and their relationship, how it came to be.
