 Clan Campbell Society (NA) - Castle Sween
The family would appear to have joined with the MacDougall Lords of Lorne against Robert the Bruce, for, following his accession to the throne of Scots, he granted Castle Sween to his loyal supporter Angus (MacDonald) of Islay.
Dugal, son of `Syfyn', granted lands in Knapdale to Sir John of Menteith, and Castle Sween was among the Knapdale properties granted by John of Menteith to Sir Archibald Campbell of Lochawe, father of Colin Iongantach, in charters dated 1353.
How long this period of Campbell influence lasted is not clear, for some authorities believe that title of the castle had passed to the Lords of the Isles and was held by them until the forfeiture of John Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles in 1475.
