The immediate ancestor of the family is SiE John Campbell, of Lawers, CO. Perth (great grandson of John Campbell, of Lawers, youngest son of SiE Colin Camp- bell, first of Glenorchy, 3rd son of Duncan, 1st LoED Campbell, the ancestor of the families of Aegyle and Beeadalbane, see those titles in Burke's Feerar/e), who m. his cousin Beatrix, daughter of Sir Colin Camp- bell, of Glenorchy, and had three sons, I. Sir James Campbell, of Lawers, m. Jean, daughter of James, 1st Lobd Colville oe Culhoss (see Burke's Peerage). Their son, John, m. 1629, Margaret, Baeoness Loudoun, and was elevated to the peerage, 12th May, 1633, by the titles of Baeon Faerin- TEANE AND Mauchline, and Eael of Loudoun, to him and his male heirs for ever ; but his lordship joining the opposition to the Court, the patent was, by a special order, stopped at the Chancery, and the title superseded until 1641, when it was allowed with the original precedency. In this year he was appointed high chancellor of Scotland, and first commissioner of the Treasury ; and after the decapitation of the king, when the Parliament re- assembled in 1648, Lord Loudoun was chosen president of the Session, which ordered the Proclamation of Charles II.

His lordship and his son. Lord Mauchline, had the honour, afterwards, of being specially excepted frojn the indemnity granted by the usurper to the people of Scot- land.

In 1612, Archi- bald, Earl of Argyll, justice general of Scot- land, granted a commission to " my lovit Colin Campbell, of Aberuehill," to apprehend or pursue to the death all persons of " that most unhappie and barbarous raice of the name of M'Gregor," his majesty's rebels. An Act of Parliament, 1617, against the elan Gregor, mentions depredations committed by tliem on the estate of Aberuehill.
