There is a very good book, written in 1926, called 'The Manuscript History of Craignish i.e. of the Campbells of Craignish ... Edited by Herbert Campbell (Publications of the Scottish History Society. ser. 3. vol. 9.)'

It's hard to find, but can be found through antique book sellers, and it lists the history of Craignish and the Campbell family there (as well as other families in the area). It's only of use if you have a pretty big interest in that particular area of history, it's quite specialised.

Dear CaileanMac, 
Thank you for the information on the Craignish branch of Campbells.  I found the manuscript you suggested on Amazon.com and look forward to reading it when I receive it.  Taking time to pass along this suggestion is greatly appreciated !!!

Not a problem. I have a big interest in the history of the area. I visited there recently (not far of a drive from where I live) and I'm sorry to say the Campbell of Craignish mausoleum has seen better days.
