The Campbells of Breadalbane trace their family history back to the 1st Lord Campbell, Sir Colin, Sir Duncan Campbell's second son. Through his wife, Lady Marjory Stewart, he obtained a third part of the Lands of Lorn accounting for their patronymic of the House of Breadalbane - MacChailein - Mhic - Dhonnachaidh (son of Colin, son of Duncan). Receiving Glenlochy from his father in 1432, Sir Colin built Kichurn castle in 1440 and in recognition of his honour in Palestine was created a Knight of Rhodes. Sir Colin’s descendants added to the family land including Glenlyon, Finlarig and territory throughout Argyll and Perthshire. Born in 1635, Sir John Campbell, 11th of Glenorchy, supported King Charles II. He was created the Earl of Caithness in 1677 having bought most of his estates. Sinclair of Keiss, establishing his right to the Caithness Earldom, Glenorchy was created Earl of Breadalbane in 1681. In 1689 he was paid to bribe the Highland clans to comply with King William III. He died in 1716. In 1896, John, 14th of Breadalbane, was created a UK baron to become the Marquess of Breadalbane. John, 4th Earl, succeeded as the lineal descendant of Colin of Morchastar, Sir Robert the 3rd Baronet's second son. His son John, 2nd Marquess and 5th Earl succeeded him in 1862. Dying without issue, the Marquisate of Breadalbane and Earldom of Ormelie became extinct. The Scots titles were succeeded by Sir John Alexander Gavin Campbell, 6th Earl of Breadalbane. His son, Gavin, 7th Earl, was created Marquis of Breadalbane in 1855 but also died without issue in 1922. The Marquisat became extinct and the Scottish honours devolved on his nephew, Iain Edward Herbert Campbell, 8th Earl who died in 1923. Today Taymouth Castle, the principal seat of the House of Breadalbane, is a hotel but the Earl still holds large estates. There are many cadets of the house notably Campbell of Glenlyon, and the baronets of Bercaldine.
