19th Lord of Glenorchy and 9th Earl of Breadalbane
Lt. Col. Charles Campbell gained the rank of Major in the service of the Royal Horse and Field Artillery.
He fought in the First World War and was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 8th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's).
He succeeded to the title of 19th Lord Glenorchy, Benederaloch, Ormelie and Weick in May 1923.
At the same time he succeeded to the title of 9th Earl of Breadalbane and Holland.

But all was not well with the Breadalbane estate lands. "The 9th Earl inherited a broken and impoverished estate, and was faced with a new wool-price crisis forcing him to buy ... wool from his own tenants at an inflated price and sell it at a loss.
It was the final straw; left with little option, the family sold as much land and property as they could; and by the 1940s only small fragments like the ruins of Kilchurn Castle, or the mausoleum at Finlairg were left."
