  John Campbell, 1st earl of Breadalbane - LoveToKnow 1911
As principal creditor he obtained in October 167 2, from George, 6th earl of Caithness, a conveyance of his dignities, lands and heritable jurisdictions; and after the latter's death he was created on the 28th of June 1677 earl of Caithness and viscount of Breadalbane.
Accordingly, together with Argyll and Sir John Dalrymple (afterwards Lord Stair), Breadalbane organized the atrocious crime known as the "Massacre of Glencoe," when the unfortunate MacDonalds, deceived by assurances of friendship, and at the moment when they were lavishing their hospitality upon their murderers, were butchered in cold blood on the 13th of February 1692.
This earl was a diplomatist, being British ambassador to Denmark and to Russia, and a politician, being for a long time a member of the House of Commons and a supporter of Sir Robert Walpole, in addition to holding several official positions.

 The Infamous Glencoe Massacre
Many men, professedly loyal to King William, gave, from various motives, their secret countenance to these attempts; and the Highlanders especially proved a galling and distracting thorn in the side of the government.
As early as 1690, Lord Tarbet, (subsequently Earl of Cromarty,) proposed a scheme for the quieting of the Highlands, which Lord Breadalbane offered to carry into execution; but it was at the time abandoned.
Not much appears to have resulted from the meeting which Breadalbane had with the chiefs at Achallader; indeed, he showed very little of an earnest desire for conciliation, as his threatening conduct induced Alexander Macdonald, or MacIan, of Glencoe, to leave the meeting abruptly for his own safety.

 [No title]
Campbell showed this paper with Hill's letter to several privy councillors, among whom was the Earl of Stair, all of whom were of the opinion that the certificate could not be received without a warrant from the king.
Whether this was done at the instigation of Secretary Dalrymple, it is impossible to say; but it is not improbable that this man - who, a few weeks before, had exulted that as the winter was the only season in which the Highlanders could not escape.
As John Macdonald, the younger son of Glencoe, was married to Glenlyon's niece, that crafty knave referred to his connetion with the family of Glencoe, and put it to the young man, whether, if he intended anything hostile to the clan, he would not have provided for the safety of his niece and her husband.
