The names in this list come from an article Papers Relating to the Murder of the Laird of Calder, published by the Scottish History Society. The papers are letters, and court dispositions concerning a murder arising from a feud in the area of Lochnell around 1591--most of the parties involved bear the surname "Campbell". The papers date from sometime in 1591 to 1596.Many of the people named in the document are Gaelic speakers and at least one document (IV) was a disposition given in Gaelic and transcribed in Scots.
The names are sorted by given name, and by sex.
I've left the names whole as they appear in the document because some of
the forms, especially for the feminine names, are interesting. I have only
included the first occurance of each name form (not of each person, where
several people have the same name, I've only included one instance), although
spelling variants are noted.
