Sir John Colquhoun of Luss; Governor of Dumbarton Castle during minorityof James II. Murdered by marauding Highlanders. [Burke's Peerage]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir John Colquhoun was appointed governor of the castle of Dumbarton, byKing James I, for his fidelity to that king during his imprisonment inEngland. From his activity in punishing the depredations of theHighlanders, who often committed great outrages in the low country ofDumbartonshire, he rendered himself obnoxious to them, and a plot wasformed for his destruction. He received a civil message from some oftheir chiefs, desiring a friendly conference, in order to accommodate alltheir differences. Suspecting no treachery, he went out to meet them butslightly attended, and was immediately attacked by a numerous body ofIslanders, under two noted robber-chiefs, Lachlan Maclean and MurdochGibson, and slain in Inchmurren, on Loch Lommond, in 1439.
