And was ane great justiciare all his tyme.' Assured that the Campbells of Glenorchy had obtained a firm foothold in Breadalbane ... Sir Colin erected a burial chapel at Finlarig 'to be ane burial for himself and his posteritie.' The present mausoleum of the Breadalbane family is on the site of Sir Colin's chapel. He died on the 26th [of] July 1524 [sic], and was buried at Finlarig, in his own chapel of the Blessed Virgin. He left three sons, Duncan, John, and Colin, each of whom was destined to be Laird of Glenorchy."
