Duncan was the second son of Duncan Campbell and Margaret Campbell.[1][2][3]

He married Ann Buchanan.[1]

Duncan was killed at Glenlivet in 1594.[1]

1 - "The Battle of Glenlivet in 1594 was the last stand of the Roman Catholic party, whose leaders were forced to flee the country after their defeat. However Glenlivet remained an enclave of the Roman Catholic faith, and for most of the eighteenth century priests were trained at the remote seminary of Scalan. During the Disruption of the Church of Scotland itl 1843, the dissenters held their services in the open air until they were able to build a new church of their own."

2 - on 23 September 1591, Duncan Campbell of Dannay (who was a brother of the laird of Auchin­breck) had received a Crown charter of feu of the three merklands of " Lergynghounsyn " and the 20s. lands of Blairintibbert, which were likewise in Knapdale. This family must not be confused with that of the CAMPBELLS OF LERGNACHUNZEON.

Research Notes

Althought the generally more reliable sources have Duncan married to Mary MacLeod, it seems Burke and derivative sources are correct in linking her not to this Duncan rather his son.[1] Mary married Duncan in 1567 at a time when the Duncan of this profile would have been close to 60. While this is not impossible, it is improbable.
