Mmm. I also have a similar story. Janet Campbell one of my ancestors born in 1788 was supposedly a daughter of the Duke of Argyll and she is said to have run off with my ancestor Samuel Mccoll from Appin. He was a local schoolmaster and they went over to the Isle of Lismore to live and raise a lot of mccolls! I was contacted by someone on rootschat (unfortunanately i have lost the email due to a computer breakdown) who told me that in the 1920s the then Duchess of Argyll contacted one of Janet Campbells heirs and took her to Dunstaffnage Castle to show her around. No idea where all this came from but would love to find out as others do if theres any truth behind it. i was told the campbell lord disinherited his daughter \janet when she eloped
