Hew Campbell of Loudon

Hew Campbell of Loudon (died 1561) was a Scottish landowner.

He was a son of Hugh Campbell of Loudon and Isobel Wallace.

Campbell was Sheriff of Ayr. His first name is sometimes spelled "Hugh" or "Huw". He signed his name "Hew Campbell".

Gilbert Kennedy, 2nd Earl of Cassilis (Scottish Gaelic: Gille-Brigte Mac Cinnéide) was murdered at Prestwick by followers of Hew Campbell in August 1527, over a quarrel about the lands of Turnberry. The Gaelic song 'Òran Bagraidh' may relate to this event.
