Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells

Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells is a seventeenth-century source documenting the history of Clan Campbell .

Description [ edit ]

The history is preserved in manuscript form in NLS Advocates' MS 32.6.13, 34.5.22. ^[1] The work appears to date to c. 1670 × 1676. ^[2] A transcription of the text was published in 1916. ^[3]

The history is the work of Raibeart Duncansone, minister of Campbeltown. ^[4] Raibeart is stated to have been assisted by several sennachies , which could be evidence that members of the MacLachlan learned kindred contributed to the history. ^[5]

The history seems to have been based upon the now-lost Colvin's Genealogy of the Campbells , composed by Alexander Colville in 1650×1660. ^[6] Ane Accompt was in turn a source for other important Campbell histories, such as the Craignish History (also derived from Colville's now-lost work) and the Auchinbreck History . ^[7]
