The Battle

History & Significance

The Campbells raided across the Sound of Mull in the mid-fourteenth century, asserting claims to eastern Mull against the MacDougall and MacDonald lords who held the island. These early Campbell raids anticipated the eventual Campbell acquisition of Mull in later centuries and demonstrated the westward ambition of the clan from their Loch Awe base.
