Hello Darren I hope some Campbell family researchers have responded to your post. Although I am not connected to this family, I do have some very interesting information on them.  Extended members of your Campbell's appear to have travelled far and wide across the globe - Canada, America, India and possibly Australia and New Zealand.  They are also connected through marriage to the Johnston family of Tallant Farm. I'd be happy to help you with your research - please contact me directly off-list.
