in the kilmartin graveyard project there is both mcintyre and mctyres, and campbells from Raslie,
if you have 18th century info from that area it might be worth having a look at the project from about page 30

I've checked out the Kilmartin Graveyard Project but don't see any McIntyres from my tree.  My gr.gr.grandfather (Archie McIntyre) was a Gamekeeper.  He was born in 1814 in Kilmartin.  1841 census shows him in Torranmore, Kilmartin.   By 1851 census he's in Blair Atholl, Perthshire.  He died in 1870 in Ardrishaig, Lochgilphead.  By 1871 his wife and children had moved to Glasgow where they remained.

While I didn't expect to find him in the Kilmartin graveyard, I would have thought his parents, grandparents etc. might have been there.  Father was Duncan McIntyre (born Kilmartin in 1781), mother Sarah McCallum.  I saw several McCallums in the project but not my Sarah or Duncan.  Only Sarah McCallum I've been able to trace was born in 1782 in Inveraray.  No proof its her though.  Only got their names from Archie's death certificate. 

John McIntyre and Ann Campbell would have been Archie's great grandparents.

hi
   what i m reading atmo suggests your campbells where campbells of duntroon who bought raslie,
in 1590, although the spelling of raslie comes in many forms ie rashillie and so on, there is a link to the earl of argyll  buying property,
this info is from kilmartin land assement,
attaching a clip about raslie,
and a pic of your castle at duntrune,
duntrune is slightly west of kilmartin but well within walking distance
with a good pair of boots,
