Summary

Description
English: Bronze Bust of Iain Og Ile John Francis Campbell was known throughout Gaeldom as Iain Og Ile (young Ian of Islay). He was the son of Walter Frederick Campbell, who developed settlements on the island: Port Ellen (1821) was named for his wife Eleanor; Port Charlotte(1828), which he called after his mother; Kiells (1829); and Port Wemyss (1833)- Eleanor was a daughter of the 8th Earl of Wemyss. Walter was declared bankrupt in 1848, so John Francis inherited nothing, and had to find his own way in the world. He travelled widely, documenting these journeys with his own highly-skilled water-colour paintings, and held many important public service appointments, including being a member of the Royal Household from 1860-1880, serving at Windsor and at Osborne House. He collected and published Gaelic folk stories, recounting tales exactly as they were spoken.
