The Duke of Argyll is the chief of the Scottish clan of Campbell and in this capacity is known as "MacCailean Mòr", which is Gaelic, for "Son of Colin the Great" referring to Cailean Mór of Lochawe (Colin of Lochow) who was killed in fighting with Alexander, Lord of Lorne in 1296.
On the June 21, 1701 the 9th Earl's son was created Duke of Argyll, Marquess of Kintyre and Lorne, Earl of Campbell and Cowal, Viscount of Lochow and Glenyla, Baron Inveraray, Mull, Morvern, and Tiree for his services to William of Orange.

 Scottish clan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The clans emerged from the turmoil of the 12th and 13th centuries when the Scottish crown pacified northern rebellions and re-conquered areas taken by the Norse, and after the fall of Macbeth when the crown became increasingly Anglo-Norman.
As the civil wars of the Three Kingdoms broke out in the early 17th century the Covenanters were supported by the territorially ambitious Argyll Campbells and House of Sutherland as well as some clans of the central Highlands opposed to the Royalist House of Huntly.
In 1682 James Duke of York, Charles' brother, instituted the Commission for Pacifying the Highlands which worked in co-operation with the clan chiefs in maintaining order as well as redressing Campbell acquisitiveness, and when he became King James VII he retained popularity with many Highlanders.

Despite the occasional under-the-trunk shot or the thrill that follows when a sweeping two-meter-long mallet makes contact with the ball, the fourth annual 2004 King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament in this sea-side town is more wacky and bizarre than it is fast and furious.
After a week of matches that grew more heated as the competition narrowed, the tournament ended on Sunday with Thailand's Mobile Easy, one of three teams from the home country, claiming victory over Australia's Sandalford Winery, in a first-ever win for Thailand.
Chivas Regal captain - and sometime commentator - Peter Prentice, holder of two World Elephant Polo Association (WEPA) world championship medals, a WEPA World Series Grand Slam title and the record for the fastest goal ever scored (4.5 seconds), has been playing elephant polo for 17 years.
