more, and in the 4^ merk lands of Croachan-Lochavv, called Crochan-
middill, Derrimuldonych, Ardquhilkechan, Barmaddie, and Corriebowis, in
the barony of Lochow, together with the old extent of eleven merks and a
half." (Retours Special).
At p. 133, " In 1628, Archibald Campbell de Croachan was served
heir to his grandfather, Archibald Campbell of Lochinell, in the 5 penny
lands of Auchincloiche, with the isles in the sea and the lakes on the lands
of old belonging to the Monastery of Inchechaffray." (Retours Special).
I find also in the Retours of Special Service that Catharine Stewart,
eldest lawful daughter of John Stewart, and wife of Archibald Campbell of
Croachane, was served heir portioner of said John Stewart of Lettirschew-
nay, her father, in sixth part of said lands, 12th April, 1633 ; also that the
same Catharine Stewart was served heir portioner of Mr Donald
Stewart, lawful son of said John Stewart, and her brother german, in a
sixth part of sundry lands there mentioned on the same date.
Again, Mr Alexander Campbell, minister of Kilmore, now of Auchin-
cloich, was served heir to Archibald Campbell of Auchincloich, his father,
in the 5 penny lands of Auchincloich, formerly belonging to the Monastery
of Inchaffray, in the barony of Muckairn. E. 40s and ^m augmentation.
— Retours Special, June 1, 1687. I think his brother probably got Crua-
chan, and sold it to Inverawe.
It will be seen from an extract already quoted that the lands in which
Duncan Campbell of Inverliver was served heir in 162 1 to his grandfather,
Duncan of Inverliver, formed a part of the lands granted by King James
V. in 1529 in life-rent to the daughter of the Earl of Arran, Helen Hamil-
ton, in whose favour they had been resigned by her husband, the 4th Earl
of Argyle ; and that another portion of the lands then granted to the same
lad} - , viz., Carnazarie, was in possession of the Carsuels about the time of
the Reformation. In a description of the estate of Kilmartin, given about
1825, when it was about to be sold, we find that the laird, who entailed Kil-
martin, had sold his part of the estate of Inverliver, and also find Arivol-
donich, Ardekulkechan, and Corriebuie mentioned as part of Cruachan.
When Alastair Mac Cholla (Colkitto) with the Ulster men invaded
Kintyre in 1644-45, they proceeded northwards, destroying the residences
and pillaging the property of every one bearing the name of Campbell, the
laird of Auchanellan excepted. On their finding Duntroon Castle impreg-
nable, and being warned by his friendly piper not to attempt an attack,
Colkitto proceeded along the Strath of Kilmartin, plundering the estates of
Duntroon, Rassly, and Kilmartin, and carrying off all the cattle, except one
dun cow that escaped his notice, being hid in a thicket of birch in a hollow
below Kilmartin. This cow was long known, and perhaps is remembered
