John of Swinton: A Border Fighter of the Middle Ages
Close on five hundred and fifty years ago, on 22nd February, 1370-71, died David the Second. The male line of Bruce failed, the Stewarts succeeded, and Froissart tells us that a truce was established between England and Scotland with a provision that the Scots might arm and hire themselves out like to others for subsidies, taking which side they pleased, either English or French. Of this provision John of Swinton availed himself, and rode south to make his name and fortune.

Peasant Life in Argyllshire in the End of the Eighteenth Century
I was born in the year 1774 at Barichreil, a small village of Nether Lorn. My father was a descendant of that McCallum of Colagin, the sight of whom, as he entered Kilbride Church one Sunday, followed by his twelve sons in order of their age, provoked the Lady of Dunollie to exclaim: A third of Albyn were none too much for McCallum of Colagin!
