Archibald Douglas-Campbell, 4th Baron Blythswood
Brig.-Maj. Archibald Campbell, 4th Baron Blythswood KCVO (25
April 1870–14 November 1929) was the son of Maj.-Gen. Sir
Barrington Bulkeley Campbell, 3rd Baron Blythswood, and grandson
of Archibald Douglas of Mains.
In 1916 his name was
legally changed to Archibald Douglas-Campbell, a surname
previously used by his father. Shortly after succeeding to the
title of 4th Baron Blythswood, co. Renfrew' on 13 March 1918,
his name was legally changed back to Archibald Campbell.
The family name of the House of Blythswood is derived from Colin
Campbell of Elie, a cadet of the House of Ardkinglass in Argyll,
who acquired the estate during the reign of Charles I., but
through his granddaughter and heiress the property passed to the
Douglases of Mains in Dunbartonshire.
He gained the rank
of Major in the service of the Scots Guards (Special Reserve)
and also in the service of the 4th Battalion, Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders.
He was a
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of
Scotland
Campbell was educated at Eton and on 25 July
1895, he married Evelyn Fletcher and they had one child:
Hon. Olive Douglas Campbell (1896–1949)
