    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Campbell of Carsaig Query
    2. Gary Wood
    3. I am looking for any information about Campbell of Carsaig. Notes written by my great-grandmother state that "Campbell of Carsaig (Duke of Argyle) married ?? She is buried in Ram's Horn Churchyard in Glasgow about 1820. He had two sisters Jessie and Elizabeth. Campbell and also had two children. 1. Mary Campbell who married her brother's tutor, Patrick McRuer of Doon. He was a student at University of Glasgow of which Campbell was president. ( I have checked with the University and they have no record of Campbell as president but have a Patricius McRuer as a student in 1778). Mary and Patrick (his name is also quoted as Peter M. McRuer) had 12 children. He was a minister at Jura and Colonsay. Afterwards moved to Greenock where they both died. He was buried there about 1787. She died and is buried in Carsaig, aged 40 years about 1785. 2. Daniel Campbell, only son of Campbell of Carsaig, was a very extravagant man and ran through the property, so Carsaig had to be sold. Daniel never married. The two sisters of Campbell had their share (of Carsaig) and lived on it. The aunts were buried at Ram's Horn Churchyard about 1868." Later these notes also state that Sir Walter Scott was a cousin of Mary Campbell. Any help or information would be appreciated so that I can prove or disprove these notes. Carol
