Thanks adam 12, I just don't know what to think. My grandfather Norman Campbell was all he went by to my knowledge. He died when I was young but my Aunt has been telling me about him and the stories he told. My father passed before I got into genealogy so I don't have him to ask.
My grandfather Norman came to the states in 1909 and did sign up for the WW1 draft but wasn't called. As far as his Kilts and such my aunt has them and said that they are his, we don't have a picture of him in Scotland in them or any military pictures. He did play the Bagpipes very well and his pipes have the A&SH ribbon on them which led me feel that he may have been a piper. I have no idea who Peter Campbell could be. O the puzzle I have to solve.
Angus: Bruce, Gray, Roy, McRobbie or Robbie, Spink, Doig,Perry,Petrie, Henderson
Ayrshire: Campbell, Taylor, McKay, Stewart, Weir, Thompson, Ferguson, Cornelius. Brodie, Morrison
Inverness: Campbell, McGillivray, McRae,

 :) Sometimes we hit a brick wall for a time before getting another little lead to help us on our way again.

Perhaps the link below will come in handy for you in the not too distant future.  As you can see Ancestry now have a few John Campbells as searchable, so it hopefully won't take too long for them to get down to the N initial (for Norman).  :D
