The archive reflects the historically important role of the Campbell family from the fourteenth century onwards. Until the mid-twentieth century Argyll Estates covered most of Argyllshire, parts of Inverness-shire, Clackmannanshire, Stirling, East Lothian, including some of Scotland's most marginal island environments (Tiree, Iona, Mull) which endured some of the worst periods of nineteenth century Highland famine, emigration and land agitation. Records in the archive date from the thirteenth to twenty-first centuries, forming an unbroken record of nearly eight hundred years of the family's fortunes which closely reflects all of the key events in Scotland's history
Information about the contents of the collection can also be found in two surveys (NRAS 6 and NRAS 1209), available at National Records of Scotland, Argyll and Bute Council Archives and Inveraray Castle
