Allan Cameron of Lochiel

Allan Cameron of Lochiel (c. 1567–1647) was a Scottish clan chief and soldier.

During the Scottish Civil War, he fought with the Marquis of Montrose and led his clan at the Battle of Inverlochy in 1645, aged nigh on 80.

His father was murdered in 1569, and so he was raised by an aunt.

His eldest son John Cameron, Master of Lochiel died in 1635, imprisoned at Edinburgh.

Lochiel was succeeded by his grandson Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel (1629–1729), who greatly increased the clan's fortunes and was a strong supporter of the Stuart monarchs.
