	Campbell
		From this period the great power formerly enjoyed by the Earls of Ross, Lords of the Isles, was transferred to the Earls of Argyll and Huntly; the former having the chief rule in the south isles and adjacent coasts.
		There was a suspicion at the privy council, probably shared in by James V himself, that many of the disturbances in the Isles were secretly formented by the Argyll family, who in due course received the lands forfeited by the other chiefs.
		In 1599, when measures were in progress for bringing the chiefs of the Isles under subjection to the king, the Earl of Argyll and his kinsman, John Campbell of Calder, were accused of having secretly used their influences to prevent Sir James Macdonald of Dunyveg and his clan from being reconciled to the government.
