Where do I start! In a nutshell, the Campbells had a happy knack(from their point of view) of usually ending up on the winning side, the Crown usually and were not averse in flaunting their successes. They were rather more adept at using their brains rather than a sword and basically everyone else was jealous of the fact! The Campbells were wrongly blamed for the orchestration of the massacre at Glencoe and on it goes. As with all the clans in those days, matters had the unhappy knack of being ruthlessly dealt with and whilst the Campbells did not often have blood on their hands, they were often responsible and for whose benifit?-----their own.
