 Probably the most famous “son of Strachur” was John Campbell of Strachur (1727-1806), although Sir Harry Lauder was the laird of the "Glenbranter" estate, between Lock Eck and Strachur, in the first half of the twentieth century.There is a memorial to his Harry Lauder son Captain John Lauder, of the 8th Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, in Glenbranter who died 26 December 1916, during the First World War.Much of the Glenbranter estate was subsequently acquired by the Forestry Commission, who encourage public access to the land.
