Mariota married Gillespic, Archibald, or Celeste CAMPBELL Master of Campbell, son of Sir Duncan CAMPBELL of Lochow, 'Na Adh' ('Lucky'). 1st Lord Campbell and Marjory STEWART, 13 February 1419(1420) (papal dispensation).^{1 2} (Gillespic, Archibald, or Celeste CAMPBELL Master of Campbell was born about 1395 and died Before 4 August 1442(dvp).)

  Marriage Notes:

"He (Archibald/Celestin Campbell) probably did marry Mariota of the Isles, daughter of Sir Donald, Lord of the Isles and Ross, as, on 13 February 1419-20, the Pope granted a dispensation for their union, as though they were betrothed they could not marry without his permission (Cal. Papal Letters, vii. 151). She is probably the Mariota of the Isles, who about 1439 married Alexander Sutherland of Dunbeath (The Thanes of Cawdor, 16)."

from Scots Peerage (vol 9 Addenda et Corrigenda)

"However, more recent research by Andrew MacEwen has determined that the 6th earl did indeed have a son Alexander, who was referred to as "the master of Sutherland" and who received, on the occasion of his marriage to Mariota MacDonald, a grant of the lands of Dunbeath in Caithness.[18] MacEwen argues that the term 'master' was used to identify an heir presumptive, and therefore at any given time could be a lord's son, brother, uncle, cousin, etc. (not only an elder son, as Sir Robert Gordon assumed), and presents a detailed case for Alexander being the next youngest brother of John, 7th earl of Sutherland who was, at some point, his brother's heir-presumptive and thus titled 'master of Sutherland'.[19] There is at least one existing charter, granted at Inverness, 10 October 1444, by Alexander Ross, earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, which was witnessed by 'Alexandro de Suthirland magistro ejsdem.'[20] This Alexander Ross was the brother of Sutherland's wife Mariota, who had earlier granted to them jointly "omnes et singulas terras nostras Dominii de Dunbeth."[21]"
