"Sir Colin Campbell of Lochow, the eldest son, obtained a charter from King Robert I, by which he granted to him the whole land of Lochow, and the land of Ardscodyrthe (Ardskeodnish) in one free barony, wherein he is designated 'our beloved and faithful Colin, son of Sir Neil Cambel,' dated at Arbroath, 10 February 1315. This appears to be the first grant of the barony of Lochow, and it is only after this date that the Campbells are styled Lords of Lochow. The barony before this date appears to have been in the hands of the Crown. He accompanied the King to Ireland, 1316, and in 1334 recovered from the English the castle of Dunoon, in Cowal, for which David II rewarded him with the hereditary keepership of the castle, an office still held by the Dukes of Argyll. For this statement a charter in the possession of the Duke of Argyll is quoted by Douglas. Fordun and Wyntoun agree in saying that it was Dugal, not Sir Colin Campbell who assisted the Steward in that enterprise; but as there were living at that time at least three Dugal Campbells of this family, that name may have been substituted by mistake for Colin."
