Clan MacDougall-Clan Campbell feud

The Clan MacDougall-Clan Campbell feud, beginning in 1294, was rooted in the turbulent Scottish politics of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The MacDougalls, loyal to the Balliols and the English crown, found themselves at odds with the Campbells, who had pledged allegiance to Robert the Bruce. The animosity between the two clans reached its pinnacle during the Wars of Scottish Independence when they clashed on numerous occasions. The Campbells ultimately emerged more influential due to Bruce's ascendancy to the Scottish throne, while the MacDougalls faced a decline in power, but the enmity between these clans left an enduring mark on Scottish history.
