As children we grew up with the following story - at the time of the Glencoe massacre a section of the Campbell clan disagreed with the massacre and the clan split. Many many years later they returned and the clan was reunited and they were known as the "Campbells" and the "missing Campbells" which was eventually shortened to Miscampbell!! My maiden name was Miscampbell and as young girls myself and my sisters loved the thought of this story, but having grown up realise it is more than likely a myth. However I would be interested to hear if anybody else had ever heard it.
