Clan feuds weren’t always between different clans – sometimes the fiercest conflicts were within them. In this episode, we dive into the internal strife that divided Clan Cameron in the late 1500s and early 1600s. Leaders of cadet branches openly challenged their chief’s authority over policy and alliances, fracturing one of the Highlands’ most formidable clans.
This wasn’t just a family quarrel. Rival Highland earls and Lowland magnates seized the opportunity to meddle, turning the dispute into a proxy conflict that reflected the turbulent politics of the time. Discover how loyalty, ambition, and outside interference nearly tore Clan Cameron apart – and what this reveals about the fragile nature of power in early modern Scotland.
