John Gregorson Campbell
John Gregorson Campbell (1836 – 22 November 1891) was a Scottish folklorist and Free Church Minister at the Tiree and Coll parishes in Argyll, Scotland. An avid collector of traditional stories, in 1831 he became Secretary to the Ossianic Society of Glasgow University. Ill health had prevented him taking up employment as a Minister when he was initially approved to preach by the Presbytery of Glasgow in 1858 and later after he was appointed to Tiree by the Duke of Argyll in 1861, parishioners objected to his manner of preaching.
Several of the anecdotes he amassed were published in magazines and, just before his death, work began on collating the first of four compendiums of the tales; three were published a few years after his death. He was fluent in several languages, including Scottish Gaelic, and transcribed the legends precisely as dictated by the narrators.
==Early life and education==
John Gregorson Campbell was born near Loch Linnhe at Kingairloch, Argyll in 1836, the fourth child and second son of Helen MacGregor and Captain Campbell, an officer for the ship ''Cygnet''. A short memoir, published in 1895 and based on information from Gregorson Campbell's sister, states a ''Bean Shìth'', or fairy washerwoman as Gregorson Campbell defined it, had cast a spell on his father's ancestors proclaiming "they shall grow like the rush and wither like the fern". The family moved to Appin in about 1839, where the local parochial school provided Gregorson Campbell's education until he was ten years old. He then attended a higher school in Glasgow before moving on to the University of Glasgow.
