    Ne Obliviscaris

    Campbell Clan Crest: A Boars Head. Campbell Motto: Ne Obliviscaris (Forget Not). Campbell Clan History: The surname of Campbell derives from the Gaelic 'cam-beul' which means 'crooked mouth,' and possibly relates to the physiognomy of an early chief.

    Never trust a Campbell

    Much of Scotland's early recorded history is full of violence - battles, feuds, murders, treachery. But the incident which to this day still arouses the strongest passions was the massacre of the MacIans (a sept of the clan Donald) in Glen Coe in 1692. It was not just the fact that 38 people were murdered by government troops, led by Captain Robert Campbell; it was the unforgivable sin that Campbell and his men had enjoyed the traditional Highland hospitality before turning on their hosts (who included his own niece and her husband) in an attempt at what today would be called "ethnic cleansing." Three hundred years later, Campbells still suffer the opprobrium of the massacre. Generations of Scots children have been taught "never trust a Campbell."

    I am not sure whether we invented soup or not but I am presuming that the Donald clan may have became Macdonald or Mcdonald down the line. lol

    Often as history went on, names were changed to fit in with whatever religion was current.
    The Irish did this.
