Archibald Gillespic MacDuibhn Campbell - 2nd Knight of Lochow
The Campbells of Craignish (Mac Dúbhghaill Creaginnis in the Scottish Gaelic or Gàidhlig), form one of the oldest branches of the ancient and powerful Clan Campbell in Scotland. They claim descent from Dugald Campbell, the second son of Sir Archibald Gillespic Campbell (b.1130), 5th Knight of Lochawe and 20th Chief of Clan Campbell at the time. Sir Archibald's first son, Sir Duncan Campbell, 6th Knight of Lochawe, was the founder of the principal branch of the Campbell family who today holds the title Duke of Argyll.
The family - the eldest cadets of the house of Argyll - was a virile race, its members in all generations, to their cost, little disposed to diplomacy or guile, but staunch defenders of their rights and good soldiers By alliances through marriage and conquest they quickly acquired large possessions, and their growing power was noticed with apprehension and jealousy by the parent house of Lochow. The family no longer owns the Lairdship of Craignish (see below).
The coat of arms of Dugall Campbell of Craignish (below) is described in Nisbet's "A System of Heraldry" as 'gyronny of eight or and sable, the shield hanging from the mast of a lymphad sable'. The coat of arms left is the suggested arms of the current incumbent - the Ducal Crown is awarded because the holder is a Clan Chieftain, but it is tinctured blue because the original estates are no longer in possession of the Chieftain. The Chief of the Clan is also Chief of Clan MacInnes, and Chief of the Name MacIsaac, MacKissock and MacKessack.

Gillespicus, or Archibald,* having paid a visit to his friends in Argyllshire, married his cousin Evah,
only daughter to Sir Paul O'Dwibhne, or Paul-a-Sporren. The Latin language being then more prevalent
in Scotland than the French, the surname or title Beauchamp was translated Campus Bellus, and he
called G-illespicus Campbellus,f from which their posterity, and the whole Clan of O'Dwibhne, in Argyllshire, early assumed the surname of Campbell, in courtesy to their chief.
* The etymology of the name Gillespie, or Archibald, is derived by those learned in the Gaelic language, from the words Gillie, a servant; Espic, of the bishop ; and hence they infer that the husband of Evah was connected with churchmen, or the servant of a bishop ; but, independent of a bishop being in those early ages the highest dignity and rank, next to Majesty in Europe, the criticism may be obviated by the
reflection, that as he was born in France, and cousin to William the Norman, a bishop might have been his sponsor, and complimented him with the name Gillie-Espic, or the bishop's boy.
Douglas, Crawford, and others, in their works on the Peerage,
say, that this Gillespicus, or Archibald, got the name first changed from O'Dwibhne to Campbell, to perpetuate the memory of a noble and heroic piece of service performed by him for the crown of France, in the field of battle, in the reign of Malcohn Canmore. Probably the name was shortened, and thus Gillespicus became Gillespie, and Cambus-bellus became Campbell.
