Hi Tom McQuarrie's Hugh and Ann (McColl) Campbell are also my ancestors and according to my records Ann McColl came from Gelugang, Fort William. Hugh and Ann were married on Mull (Kilninian and Kilmore) 25/7/1771.

It's based on the work of Hugh Geoffrey MacColl who undertook research into the history and genealogy of the McColls during the 1920s, I believe as part of a university project (he was a student at Christ's College, Cambridge)... Iain ban Mac Cholla ("fair John") is said to have gone to Mull around 1700 in the employment of Colonel Campbell of Knock. He came from Glasdrum, at the head of Loch Creran in Appin which is seen as the homeland of the McColls. He is supposed to be buried in Knock burial ground, although there is no marked stone for him (there are few marked stones for anyone from this period). Iain ban's son, Iain / John is said to have farmed at Oskamull. His son, John / Iain in turn, was born around 1730 and was a tenant at Tenga, Ledmore and Baleskat. He married a Mary Campbell from Ardnamurchan and had a number of children between 1769 and 1784 (one of whom, Donald (bp 1779) was my ggg grandfather).

I think that the "Colonel Campbell of Knock" was Colin Campbell of Braglen who was given the tack (a kind of senior tenancy) of Aros by the Earl of Argyll in 1696. In 1716, following the failed Jacobite rising of 1715, all of the able-bodied men in Mull were required to appear at Duart castle to surrender their weapons and to take an oath of allegiance to the King. At this time, only two McColls were recorded: - Neil McColl, servant of Dugald McDugald of Ardmore - John McColl of Torgormaig and Ardnacrosh - he had no arms and had not taken part in the rebellion. This information comes from a book published in 1998 by the Scottish Record Society and edited by Nicholas MacLean-Bristol: Inhabitants of the Inner Isles, Morvern and Ardnamurchan 1716 I guess (I don't think there is any way of knowing for sure) that both John and Neil are Iain ban's sons. Neil possibly had as many descendants as John, but apart from the Hugh who raised the gravestone, I don't think they are documented. The McColls seem to have settled mainly around the Ledmore/Tenga and Oskamull areas. I hope this helps. As you can see there is certainly a Tenga connection. If anyone can add anything to this I would be very interested to hear it.

Colin, Are you the Colin Campbell who posted a letter from John McKinnon back in 2000? If so, I've been trying to get in touch with you (I only came across it recently) but the email address on the message no longer worked.
