"NOTE: Possibly the same Roderick Campbell who was a bagpiper!
'Roderick Campbell lived at Cuilchonich near Aultbea and Mellon Charles on the north shore of Lock Ewe, about fifteen miles north of Angus MacKay's farm. He drowned while a young man, crossing the River Ewe."

I think this above reference should be removed. There isn't any reason to think that the Roderick Campbell on this profile was the same Roderick Campbell who was a bagpiper living near Loch Ewe in the Highlands of north-west mainland Scotland. The details of the two men don't match. The "Old and New World Highland Bagpiping" book says Roderick the bagpiper lived near Loch Ewe and drowned as a young man. The Roderick Campbell in this profile was from the Isle of Harris. He married twice and had at least four children who all came from Harris. The family was evicted from Harris and removed to Buanish in the Parish of Lochs, Ross-shire.on the Isle of Lewis, sometime around the early 1800s. So he lived in a different part of Scotland and didn't die as a young man.
