HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL CLAN AND GENEALOGY: http://audio17.archive.org/stream/houseofargyllcol00argy#page/84/mode/2up
---XXIII. Archibald was married to Errick, daughter to the Lord of Carrick, who was mother to Colin More, his heir. Archibald was contemporary with the second and third Alexander, Kings of Scotland, 1230.
XXIV. Cailen More, i.e., Great; from him Argyll derives the name of MacCailen More. His great worth and value are still the subject of many a traditional tale. He was one of the great men, summoned to Berwick, on the part of Robert Bruce in the competition with John de Baliol, for the Crown of Scotland, in August, 1292. He acquired from Sir William Lindsay, Knight, the lands of Symontown, in Ayrshire, the reddends of which he made over to the monks of Newbottle, anno 1293. He was married to a daughter of the noble house of St. Clair of Dunnyglass, by whom he had —
1st. Nicol, or Neil, his heir.

2nd. Archibald.

3rd. Dougal Person, of whom the M'Phersons are thought to have sprung.
Cailen More had routed the M'Dougalls, and, pursuing them too fearlessly, was slain at Bellachnascringe, the entrance into Gleninchir, hence he is called Cailen More-na-Sringe. He lies interred at Kilchrenan, Lochow, 1260. Cailen More had routed the M'Dougalls, and, pursuing them too fearlessly, was slain at Bellachnascringe, the entrance into Gleninchir, hence he is called Cailen More-na-Sringe. He lies interred at Kilchrenan, Lochow, 1260.
XXV. Neil M'Cailen More-na-Sringe, the ninth Campbell and tenth Knight of Lochow; was called one of " Kobert the Bruce's worthies," a name his zeal for his cause well merited. At one time he was opposed by the M'Dougalls and others, and kept the pass at the river of Awe until Wallace came to his assistance. It was at Dalree, in Perthshire, that a follower of the M'Dougalls tore the brooch from Robert the Bruce's breast, and held it firmly even after he had been knocked on the head by Bruce with a steel hammer, one of the war instruments of those days. This brooch is still in the possession of the chief of the M'Dougalls. M'Dougall was at this time attending a parliament in Baliol's interest, assembled at Ardchattan. On Bruce's accession to the Throne, this M'Dougall's lands were forfeited, but restored to Duncan M'Dougald, his cousin. The superiority of Lome was conferred on the Stewarts, of whom there were three Lords Lome, until the superiority fell into the family of Argyll, as will be seen hereafter. The M'Phadens were also conquered by Neil M'Cailen More. He seized their chief in a cave, but during Bruce's adversity he himself was forced to seek safety among woods and rocks, in company with Malcolm of Lennox, Sir James Douglas, and Gilbert Hay. Sir Neil was honoured with that dignity by King Alexander the Third.*
