Walter Campbell, 3rd of Shawfield and Islay and 9th of Skipness (29 December 1741 – 19 October 1816) was a Scottish landowner, advocate and Rector of Glasgow University.
[2] His paternal grandparents were Margaret (née Leckie) Campbell (the daughter of John Leckie of Newlands) and Daniel Campbell, a follower of the Duke of Argyll who represented Inverary in the Scottish parliament from 1702 until the union (he was one of the commissioners who signed the treaty).
When Daniel died, unmarried and without issue, in 1777, Walter inherited the estate and became 3rd of Shawfield and Laird of Islay, Scotland.
Her grandparents were Lord Charles Kerr (the second son of Robert Kerr, 1st Marquess of Lothian and Lady Jane Campbell, a daughter of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll) and the former Janet Murray (eldest daughter of Sir David Murray of Stanhope, 2nd Baronet and Lady Anne Bruce, second daughter of Alexander Bruce, 2nd Earl of Kincardine).
[17] Through his daughter Margaret, he was a grandfather of eight, including Lady Eleanor Charteris (who married her cousin, Walter Frederick Campbell), Francis Wemyss-Charteris, 9th Earl of Wemyss, and Lady Katherine Charteris Wemyss (who married George Grey, 8th Baron Grey of Groby).
[6] Through his son Robert, he was a grandfather of Col. Walter William Thomas Beaujolois Campbell, 11th of Skipness (1807–1877), who lived at Skipness Castle and married Anna Henrietta Loring, a daughter of Lt.-Col. Robert Loring, in 1838.
