Clan
Our clan traces it's origin to Diarmuid Ua Duibhne and the giant boar that took him.
Ne Obliviscaris "Never Forget" is the clan motto.
The homeland of the Campbells since the twelve hundreds has been Argyll.
The Campbell tartan has only three colors: black, green and blue.
In the trade it is called Ancient Campbell and is the same tartan as the Black Watch.
The clan war cry is "Cruachan" from the Mountain Ben Cruachan to the north of Loch Awe. According to legend, Mag Moullach (An Cailleach) created a magic well on top of Cruachan, which left uncovered, would flood the entire world.
