Would this be Murdo Macsween from Galtrigil just past Borreraig? If so I used to visit him when I was a wee girl and help him milk his cow. Effie is supposed to be related to me through the Maclean Family from Galtrigil.

Hello Hector. Murdo had a brother Sween who was a Captain with CalMac on the Clyde. My father was Captain Malcolm Maclean and his Maclean Family came from Galtrigil and Borreraig and then the Fergusons from Fasach. I was told by Marjorie McInnes who lives in Claighan and does genealogy that I am related to Effie through the Macleans. My father never explained all the connections to me. Also Katie Macleod from Borreraig might be a cousin? Do you live on Skye? I have American friends out her near Seattle who are related to a Neil Campbell from Gatrigill along with a lady in Australia who I met through Facebook.

Would you be Hector Maclean Campbell that is a cousin of Stacy, Debbie and Shannon out here in Seattle? I am friends with them on Facebook!

Maybe better if you conduct your dialogue direct rather via the Comments.
