The lady was the daughter of David Brodie of that ilk. The oldest son was afterward, Sir Hugh Campbell and Thane of Cawdor. The younger son, Alexander, was killed by an accident at Ardeseyr, while yet a youth (family chronicles of the Thanes). Jean, the daughter of Colin and Elizabeth married John Hay, the last Laird of Lochloy and Park, of the old line. An illegitimate son of Colin, Tutor of Cawdor, was Donald of Urchany and Boghole who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Innes of Muirton.
