Oran Campbell

A quietly inspirational Christian.  A skilled architect and acknowledged conservationist. A fearless rock-climber and danger-loving, west-coast sailor. A keen tractor driver yet also Jaguar driver. A piper. A reel-dancer extraordinaire. A story-teller, mimic and wit.

Born in Glasgow in December 1941, Oran’s parents, Keir Campbell and Olivia Noel Paton, had helped Kurt Hahn to establish Gordonstoun School. A thoughtful, modest, gentle and principled man, Oran lived by its founding principle, Plus est en vous. He developed determination—but always for ethical, logical and considered reasons and his professional relations became built on trust.
