Dunderave Castle (6 of 6)
In the early 18th century, ownership of Dunderave passed to the all consuming Campbells.  There is a romantic story associated with this event.  The last of the Macnaughtons of Dundarave married, about the year 1700, a daughter of Sir James Campbell of Ardkinglas across the loch.  Whether or not the wedding celebrations were too much for 'The Macnaughton', he woke up next morning to find himself in bed with, and married to, the wrong daughter!  His father-in-law, for reasons of his own, had substituted his unmarried elder daughter.  Thereafter, Macnaughton and his truelove, the younger daughter, fled to Ireland, and the Campbells took over Dunderave!  

How true that story is, it is impossible to say, but it is certainly the case that the present chiefs of Macnaughton live near the port of Portballintrae in Antrim, Ireland.
