"The Campbell's, since their
arrival at the beginning of the fourteenth century, had embarked on an
expansionist programe, which by 1564 saw them spread throughout the whole of
Kyle. Their introduction from the western highland's had come through the
marriage of Sir Douglas CAMPBELL, a son of the family of
Lochaw, to Sarah CRAUFORD,
daughter and heiress of the last of the Craufords of Loudon. Inheritance
included not only substantial barony on Loudon,
but also the position of the hereditary Sheriff of Ayr, covering in it's
authority, the whole of Kyle (with the exception of the burgh lands of
Ayr).".....
Kyle, although relatively free of civil conflict, any disputes that did
arise, frequently have connection with promotion of Campbell ambitions..
One of the many controversies they became involved in was the instigation of the
murder of KENNEDY, Earl of Cassillis in 1527 and a particularly
outrageous crime earlier with the murder of the Laird of Corsintoun,
within the Church of Cumnock
of which Patrick Dunbar of Corsincon
(or Corsintoun) in
1512 was murdered while attending mass. Andrew CAMPBELL was taken
and hanged, while his kinsmen were put to the horn, outlawed.
