The Story of Clan Cameron | ScotlandShop On the Sofa

- A new month means a new Clan to explore and this week Amy and Emily are On the Sofa discussing the brutal and bloody history of the Cameron family. While the origins of this Clan and name are still unknown, what is sure is that they created many enemies over the years. One of their most well known feuds was with the Chattan family, with the estrangement coming to a head with murderous intent during the Battle of North Inch. Robert The Bruce III was becoming impatient with the disagreement and told the two clans they must resolve their issues or bring 30 men each to Perth, they chose the latter. Spectators gathered as the two clans went head to head, unfortunately the Camerons did not come out victorious as 29 of their soldiers were killed, and what’s worse is this didn’t even end their conflict, as it continued for another 150 years! We also delve more into the Clan’s barbarous battles, terrific tartans and famous faces.

I enjoyed your presentation, Thank you for sharing.😊
Tribal raids on each other, cattle rustling (for fun and profit), long-standing feuds, ambushes .... No wonder the Scots
and Scots-Irish were considered to be the most successful and fiercest fighters on the early American frontier!
The native American also fought in this manner.[1]
The English settlers (with the exception of some of those from the borderlands of England/Scotland) knew nothing
of this wild, living off the land by hunting/fishing, raiding and farming.
1.) The Spanish soldiers and settlers in the southwestern USA had brought beef cattle and horses to Texas, New
Mexico, Nevada and southern California. The local Native Americans in those areas had, eventually made use of
the horses. Later European settlers did not encounter these mounted tribes until the mid-1800's
The earliest European settlers along the Atlantic coast and in the northeast did not encounter Native Americans who
made use of the horse. That area of USA was heavily wooded at the time. In the 1700's Europeans began appearing
on their Frontier homesteads with their chickens, cows, hogs, horses, donkeys and mules.
Very informative!
I'm descended in part from the clan Cameron. This is very interesting!👍
Thank you!
I have traced my ancestors back to Alexander Cameron around 1630
The name makes sense. Macgillonies.
My mother was a Mcilhaney, Clan Cameron 😊
My late father’s family were sworn to Cameron of Erracht until around 1830, when the line died out. Before that about 20 male relations had chased Napoleon around Europe and Spain during the Peninsular Wars under the leadership of Sir Alan. Likewise, in following his father, about 20 others went off to Culloden and were butchered by Cumberland and his men. Many were summarily executed. Another thing I know is that between the cadet and main branches, there was at times some serious bad blood arising from issues such as the clearances.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Good to see this
Thank you :)
My paternal grandmother was Agnes Cameron (1914 - 1976).
Enjoyed your presentation. I had a hard time understanding you (I guess it's because I'm from Texas) so I had to watch it three times. Still, keep up the good work!!!! (descendant of Clan Cameron)
Try the closed caption option. It won't accurately print all they say; but it will make it easier to follow.
My name is Cameron, so I guess it's mine and I'm the chief.
Hello Ladies, thanks for doing this! On my mother's side: My Mother Myrtle, 1920-2020, was a direct descendant of of Donald Cameron, Lochiel of the Camerons who emigrated to Nova Scotia with his father Samuel, and his wife & children in the late 1790s aboard the Hector. They started Pitcher's farm at what became Antigonish & subsequent generations of these early pioneers also explored regions in what became Canada. The place in Alberta called Cameron Falls was named by my great grandfather George Cameron.
Important: About pronunciation & the meaning of the name 'crooked nose'.....to pronounce crooked properly it sounds like "krookt" not crook-ed, the difference being that pronounced krookt nose, it means bent & hawk-like as a family facial feature, whereas pronounced crook-ed, it sounds dishonest. A sheperd's crook, for example, is a staff with a bend at one end. One can often see the beakish noses of some Scotsmen in the movies. I did not inherit this trait, my nose is very straight, more like a Minoan nose actually, but my eldest son, Cameron, has the high bridge and slightly aquiline nose, a very sophisticated looking nose.
What a fascinating family story, thank you for sharing with us Donita!
We are related.
My great Grandfather was William Cameron. Who’s great grandfather was Donald Cameron of Nova Scotia. Granted there were a lot of immigrants to Nova Scotia from Scotland, but it’s hard to knew for sure, but it’s a strong possibility they were so we are related.
Is it like the one in the wee picture in the left of my post?
@@davidwatts2963 Yes, are you in Canada then?
That lady on the left looks like she could be part of the gene pool:)
Potentially :)
That my name
