115 What was the Origin of the Campbells? - From Stephen Boardman’s ’The Campbells’

The Campbells were one of the most powerful clans in Scotland.  What was their origin?  Were they Gaels from Dal Riata?  Britons of Strathclyde?  Picts?  Angles from Northumbria?  Normans?  Vikings?  Let's hear from Professor Stephen Boardman of the University of Edinburgh on this topic!  It's taken from his book The Campbells: 1250-1513. I really enjoyed this book and will be sharing more from it in future episodes.
