Forasmuch as it is sufficiently verified and proven that John Campbell of Ardchattan was in his majesty's service in the year 1654, and that his houses of Ardchattan and Ardrey, and his whole household goods, plenishings and other furniture therein, were burnt, plundered and destroyed by a party of English soldiers the said year, and that the losses sustained by him thereby amounts to the sum of 8,000 merks; therefore, our sovereign lord, with advice and consent of the estates of parliament, appoints the said loss to be recorded in the books of parliament.
