	Netherlorn and its Neighbourhood - Chapter X - Kilmartin
		A Netherlorn scout, who managed to work his way behind a boulder (Carn Chailein, the Cairn of Colin) on the flank of the Campbells, shot an arrow, which transfixed Cailein Mor, the Campbell chief, killing him on the spot.
		This stroke of fortune saved the MacDougall army from destruction, but such was their loss that it is said the river ran red, and the bed of the stream was choked by dead bodies: hence the name-Ath Dearg (Red Ford).
		It is from Cailein Mor, or as he is still called, Cailein Mor na Sreinge (Great Colin of the String of Lorn), that the Dukes of Argyll derive their patronymic, MacCailein: a title corrupted into MacCallum Mor (the son of great Malcolm), a corruption for which Sir Waiter Scott is chiefly responsible.

		Drifts of mist spiralled around me like great geysers of steam and as I followed the long ridge over Sgoran Dubh Mor and Sgoran Dubh Beag, the clouds threatened to boil up and spill over the edge of the great chasm that cradles the dark waters of Loch Einich.
		Once past the Clach Choutsaich and the granite tor that commemorates the forces of the Duke of Argyll, the Clach Mhic Cailein, I decided my best option was to drop down into Coire Bhuidhe and follow the slopes down into Rothie murchus.
		That decision proved to be a wrong one – the com- b ination of deep heather, tussocky grass and thick juniper slowed progress to a crawl and I lost count of how many times I stepped into hidden streams.
