Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel (Scottish Gaelic: Eòghann Dubh Mac Dhòmhnaill Dubh; February 1629 – c. February 1719) was a Scottish soldier and the 17th chief of Clan Cameron. He fought during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and was one the principal Jacobite leaders during the 1689 Rising .
The feud between Clan Cameron and Clan Mackintosh was particularly violent during this period. [2] A border dispute between the Cameron territories in Lochaber and the Earl of Atholl's lands in Perthshire led to a famous incident. The fair Lochiel had set out for the rendezvous where he would meet the Earl of Atholl and come to terms. [4]

Donald Dubh Cameron (fl. 1411) was the first authentic chief of Clan Cameron. [1] Traditionally, it is held that the Camerons are of ancient Celtic origin and descend Banquo, Thane of Lochaber (fl. 11th century), while other legends include descent from a Danish prince.
After Donald's birth, Ewen kept his son, and had him nursed by a tailor's wife at Lundavra in Lochaber ("Cameron country"). There, as an infant, Donald received the nickname An Taillear Dubh (an, a diminutive; Taillear, an occupational reference to the caretaker's husband; Dubh, translated as "black" in the context of meaning "dark haired" or "dark tempered").
