Regarding my recent edit: I can't help but mention that I'm a direct descendant of Colin Campbell of Glenure (7 generations). --Zero^talk 09:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sniper / Marksman

Iv'e changed the word sniper to marksman, to me sniper implies someone with extensive training and superior skill as well as according to wikipedia it couldn't have been used at the time.92.0.40.230 (talk) 19:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Holcombe

In his 2004 examination of the evidence, Lee Holcombe also concluded that Donald Stewart of Ballachulish, rather than Allan Breck Stewart, is far more likely to have been the actual shooter.^[1]^[2] However, Holcombe also concluded that James of the Glens, despite his eloquent denials, was indeed guilty of sanctioning the murder of Colin Campbell in advance.^[3]

Holcombe is non-rs. Put this here for later to be resolved. scope_creep^Talk 10:09, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Modern terms/slang

The article is full of term like shooter and fragging. They modern slang and have no place in this article. I'd don't even know fragging means. scope_creep^Talk 10:09, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
