CAMERON OF LOCHIEL, SIR EWEN Scottish highland chieftain, passed part of his youth with the mar quess of Argyll at Inverary, leaving his guardian about 1647 to succeed his grandfather as chief of the clan Cameron. In Lochiel joined the earl of Glencairn in his rising on behalf of Charles II. In July 1689 he was with Viscount Dundee at Killie crankie. He was too old to share personally in the Jacobite rising of 1715, but his sympathies were with the Stuarts, and his son led the Camerons at Sheriffmuir. Lochiel, who died in Feb. 1719, is called by Macaulay the "Ulysses of the Highlands." He is said to have killed the last wolf in Scotland. An incident showing his strength and ferocity in single combat is used by Sir Walter Scott in The Lady of the Lake (canto v.). Lochiel's son and successor, John, who was attainted for sharing in the rebellion of 1715, died in Flanders in i 748. John's son Donald, sometimes called "gentle Lochiel," was wounded at Culloden, and escaped to France, dying in the same year as his father. The 79th regiment, or Cameron Highlanders, was raised from among the members of the clan in 1793 by Sir Alan Cameron See Memoirs of Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel (Bannatyne Club, 1842).
