  • Notes 
    • Who, as John de Cambrun, is witness to a donation in
      favour of the Religious House at Scoon in 1234, with
      Walter, son of Alan, Lord High Steward and Justiciar of
      Scotland; Walter Cumin, Earl of Menteith; Adam de Logan,
      John de Haya, and his own brother, Robert de Cambrun.
      He is also mentioned in connection with some marches,
      in the Diocese of Aberdeen, in 1233; and in 1250 he is
      found designed “Johannes de Cambrun, Miles,” etc. He
      had two sons –
      1. Robert, his heir and successor.
      2. John, mentioned in Pryme’s Collections, in 1296.
      He is alleged to have been progenitor of the Camerons of
      Glenevis, though others maintain, with more probability,
      that they were originally Macdonalds. Sir John died in the
      reign of Alexander II.,and was succeeded by his eldest son
