ingly came off with a pairty of 200 men and 80 of the
Glenorchy-men that joyned me be the way and marched
under night to the house of Finlarig, which my Lady
Glenorchy with her family had left for me the day before,
and quhich I lykeways garrisoned, where every thing that
was necessar for me or my men were taken care of &
provided by John Campbell, This gave me the Command
of that part of the Countrey, and not only brock all Marrs
measures in the highlands of perthshyre, But also put a
stop to the recruits that were comeing to his Army at
Perth, for quhilk end I continued there till some dayes
before the Duke of Argyle marched from Stirling, and then
I marched to Strathern and left the charge of the Garisone
of Finlarig to John Campbell who not only took care of
every thing there till my return from Aberdeen, But upon
the whole answered my expectation in every other respect
since the concert aforsaid made with him in October last
when in Lorn In tesimony quhereof I have sett my hand
and seall heirunto at Ednample the tuenty first day of
august one thousand seven hundered & sixteen years.
The Duke of Argyll has kindly supplied the following
note on this writ:—
Carrik in Glastre, at times called CarrikaneifF, in some of the
Argyll and other pedigrees, is mistaken for the Carrik on Lochgoil,
hence some confusion.
The place-names in this Charter and their marches are most
interesting, and their spellings are good.
The witnesses are also very interesting, as we did not know that
Sir John Campbell ‘ official of Lochow and of Cowale ’ bore that
title or office. He is undoubtedly the priest ‘ Sir John Cambell,
Rector of the Parish Church of S. Martin in Ayrdhadynyse ’
(Ardskeodnish), who on 29 January 1422, at ‘ Dunbrettan,’
appears as the first witness to a Charter from Duncan Cambel, Lord
of Lochawa, to his beloved brother Duncan Cambell the elder
(seniori) of the various lands of Duntroon.
Then comes the Chief of Strathlachlan.
Alr Campbell.
