Monk to declare a See also:free See also:parliament in See also:England to facilitate the restoration. He sat in the Scottish parliament as member for See also:Argyllshire from 1669 to 1674. As See also:principal creditor he obtained in See also:October 1672, from See also:George, 6th earl of See also:Caithness, a See also:conveyance of his dignities, lands and heritable jurisdictions; and after the latter's See also:death he was created on the 28th of See also:June 1677 earl of Caithness and See also:viscount of Breadalbane. In 1678 he married the widowed countess of Caithness, an economical step which saved him the alimentary See also:provision of 12,000 merks a See also:year he had covenanted to pay. In 168o he invaded Caithness with a See also:band of 700 men and defeated and dispossessed the earl's See also:heir male. The latter, however, was subsequently confirmed in his lands and titles, and Campbell on the 13th of See also:August 1681 obtained a new patent with the precedency of the former one, creating him earl of Breadalbane and See also:- HOLLAND

In 1685 he was a member of the Scottish privy See also:council. Though nominally a Presbyterian he had assisted the intolerant and despoticgovernment of See also:Lauderdale in 1678 with 1700 men. He is described as having " neither See also:honour nor See also:religion but where they are mixed with See also:interest," as of " See also:fair complexion, of the gravity of the Spaniard, cunning as a See also:Fox, See also:wise as a See also:Serpent and supple as an See also:Eel." 1 He was reputed the best headpiece in See also:Scot-See also:land.' His See also:influence, owing to his position and abilities, was greater than that of any See also:man in Scotland after See also:Argyll, and it was of high moment to See also:- KING

King William to gain him and obtain his services in conciliating the Highlanders. Breadalbane at first carried on communications with See also:Dundee and was implicated in the royalist intrigue called the " See also:Montgomery See also:plot," but after the See also:battle of See also:Killiecrankie in See also:July 1689 he made overtures to the See also:government, subsequently took the See also:oath of See also:allegiance, and was entrusted with a large sum of See also:money by the government to secure the submission of the clans.
On the 3oth of June 1691 he met the Jacobite chiefs and concluded with them See also:secret articles by which they undertook to refrain from acts of hostility till October, gaining their consent by threats and promises rather than by the See also:distribution of the money entrusted to him, the greater part of which, it was believed, he retained himself. When asked to give an See also:account of the See also:expenditure he replied: " The money is spent, the See also:Highlands are quiet, and this is the only way of accounting between See also:friends."'
On the 27th of August a See also:proclamation was issued offering See also:indemnity to all those who should submit and take the oath of allegiance before the 1st of See also:January 1692, and threatening all those who should refuse with a military See also:execution and the penalties of See also:treason. All the chiefs took the oath except See also:Madan, the See also:chief of the MacDonalds of See also:Glencoe, who postponed his submission till the 31st of See also:December, and was then prevented from taking the oath till the 6th of January 1692 through the See also:absence of a See also:magistrate at Fort William, whither he had repaired for the purpose. This irregularity gave Breadalbane an immediate opportunity of destroying the See also:clan of thieves which had for generations lived by plundering his lands and those of his neighbours. Accordingly, together with Argyll and Sir John Dalrymple (afterwards Lord See also:Stair), Breadalbane organized the atrocious See also:crime known as the " See also:Massacre of Glencoe," when the unfortunate MacDonalds, deceived by assurances of friendship, and at the moment when they were lavishing their hospitality upon their murderers, were butchered in See also:cold See also:blood on the 13th of See also:February 1692. Breadalbane's astuteness, however, prevented the disclosure of any See also:evidence against him in the inquiry after-wards instituted in 1695, beyond the deposition of a See also:person who professed to have been sent on Breadalbane's behalf to obtain a See also:declaration of his innocence from MacIan's sons, who had escaped. The See also:discovery of his former negotiations with the Jacobite chiefs caused his imprisonment in See also:Edinburgh .See also:Castle in See also:September, but he was released when it was known that he had been acting with William's knowledge.
Breadalbane did not See also:vote for the See also:Union in 1707, but was chosen a representative peer in the parliament of See also:Great See also:Britain of 1713-1715. His co-operation with the See also:English government in securing the temporary submission of the Highlands was inspired by no real See also:loyalty or allegiance, and he encouraged the attempted See also:French descent in 1708, refusing, however, to commit himself to See also:paper. On the occasion of the Jacobite rising in 1715 he excused himself on the 19th of September from obeying the See also:summons to appear at Edinburgh on the ground of his See also:age and infirmities; but nevertheless the next See also:day visited See also:Mar's See also:camp at Logierait and afterwards the camp at See also:Perth, his real business being, according to the See also:Master of See also:Sinclair, " to See also:trick others, not to be trickt," and to obtain a See also:share of the French subsidies. He had taken money for the whole 1200 men he had promised and only sent 300. His 300 men were withdrawn after the battle of See also:Sheriffmuir, and his death, which took See also:place on the 19th of See also:March 1717, rendered unnecessary any inquiry into his conduct.
