Many thanks for your detailed responses! And very interesting about the confirmation of the existence of a George Campbell Grange in the late 17th century. This certainly lends insight into the validity of some of the research I've been able to accomplish online.

Thank you for this clarification! Your response is much appreciated.

I assumed the move had to do with political elements, including the Covenanter movement, but it's great (and fascinating) to know the full spectrum of events in Scotland at the time that would have lead to these particular Campbells fleeing north.

It is too bad the Durness Parish Register only dates back as far as 1764, which means any concrete information on earlier generations of the Grange Campbells is probably lost to history (unless you have some suggestions as to how one might trace things more accurately without reference to the parish records, of course). 

Would there be work(s) by Graham Bruce worth investigating in terms of potential genealogical information?

Does anyone have any further information on the Grange Campbells, where exactly they came from, and when (or why) they came to Durness from the south?

Websites have a George Campbell born abt. 1680 at Island Choarie, Durness, Sutherland, as the earliest Grange Campbell ancestor listed, but no information as to his parentage or where his family migrated in from.

Any information would be much appreciated!
