Campbell Cawdor Modern

Description

The Campbells of Cawdor, originally Calder, were a branch of the powerful Campbell clan, descended from the main Argyll line of Campbells through the son of the Earl of Argyll. John Campbell was given the marriage of the child heiress of Cawdor, Muriel Calder, by King James IV, after which the Campbells took possession of her lands. The Campbells thereafter had control of vast lands in the northern Highlands. Their seat was Cawdor Castle near Nairn, from which they controlled their estates. Later, the Campbells of Cawdor were ordered by the crown to assist in the weakening of the MacLeans.

Their motto is Be Mindful.
