Welcome to rootschat...
Yes you are on the Canada board, and replying on someone else's thread, so I'll see if you can be moved to Scotland board...
This site says Campbell Roy was born 11 Jun 1808, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Left Portsmouth 5/1/1825 arrived 18/4/1825. Granted conditional pardon 13/6/1837.
