: @N7245@ NOTE: In 1296 Sir Robert Cameron (Cambron) was Sheriff of Atholl and lived in the clan castle of Ballegarno. (This castle was unusual in that it was built of red stone). King Edward of England, "the Hammer of the Scots" occupied Ballegarno Castle overnight on 7 August 1296 as he sought to subdue the lands round about. ?The Camerons supported King Robert Bruce and in 1320 Sir John of Cameron (Cambron) signed the Declaration of Arbroath: "For as long as long as a hundred of us remain alive we are resolved never to submit to the domination of the English. It is not for glory, wealth or honour that we are fighting, but for freedom and freedom only, which no true man ever surrenders except with his life."
