THE BROAD LANDS AND HoNoRs OF THE BRIDE
GROOM.
The district OF Argylshre which is commonly
known as .'LOrn," and to the possession OF which
the Marquis OF Lorn Is heir apparent, occupies the
northeastern portion OF the county. from Oban and
Dunstannage at Its southwestern extremity, to the
borders OF Perhshlre on the east OF Scotland. 1t IS
cut IN two by the romantic and beautiful Loeb Etive,
and Is separated on the west by variety Of narrow
channels from the district of Morven. The district,
in very ancient times, was possessed by the Mac.
Douglas. a family IN those DAYS almost as powerful
as The MacDonalds ''Lords or the Ises.n From the
MacDougals it came into the royal House OF
Stuart, or Stewart and IT Will be remem-
bered that among the victories gained by Bruce
in his eyentful career was one over the then
Lord of Lorn IN the Pass OF AVE. According 70 Sir
Bernard Burke the broad lands OF LOrn passed
into the hands Of the Campbells of Lochow, the
direct successors OF the present ducal house OF
Argyll, about AGO years ago, and II is remarkable
that they were acquired Just as now they are about
TO be consolidated and more firmly established than
ever not by force Of arms but by fortunate mar
riage Sir Bernard tells us that Sir Colin Campbell,
OF Lochow, IN recognition OF the great additions
which he had made to the estates OF the house OF
Campbell and to his achievements in war acquired
the name Of More" or the Great and that from
him the head OF his descendants down to the
present day Is known among his Gaelic tenantry
and clansmen as 'McCaum More.n He received
the honor Of knighthood in 1880 from the hands
| OF Alexander III. OF Scotland and eleven
years later was one OF the nominees of Robert
Bruce in his contest for the scottish crown. This
renowned and gallant chieftain was slain In
contest with his neighbor, the Lord OF Lorn. at a
| place called the "String OF Cowal," where an
event occasoned feuds Tor series OF years between
the neghboring Laird OF Lochow and Lorn, which
we're terminated by tile marriage OF Colin. second

Stuart, eldest daughter and neiress of John. Laird
OF Lorn. In consequence or this union he ADDED to
the arm of his ancestors the galley which still
figures in the Campbell shield and assumed the ad-
dlti0nal title OF Lord OF LOrn.n The Marquisate
