Dugald McColl was born in Ardchattan, Argyllshire, on 6 May 1811. Although this birth is recorded by the GRO as having parents John and Mary it is difficult to read and may be Hugh, as other records claim. His year of birth is suspect, as his age at census varies from an implied birth year of 1811 to 1819; his death record implies 1814 and his gravestone implies 1811.² He was baptised in Ardchattan, Argyllshire, on 7 May 1811.²

Marriage banns for Dugald and Cathrine Sinclair were published on 14 December 1845 in Inverkip, Renfrewshire. Banns were also published on the 21 Dec, but it is not clear that these are for this couple - the location seems totally out of place.³

He married Cathrine Sinclair, daughter of Duncan Sinclair and Margaret (Peggy) McColl, possibly in Connel, Argyllshire, in 1846. This is based on their daughter Jean's birth record, which states the marriage was at Connel - this conflicts with the documented banns in Inverkip, Renfrew, but is more likely.⁴

He was listed in the 1851 census as Head of Family in Barvulin, Ardchattan, Argyllshire, with his wife Cathrine; he was a crofter of 3 acres. Their children John, Duncan and Hugh were listed as living with them.⁵

He was widowed at age 51 on the death of his wife Cathrine on 17 May 1862.^7,8
He was listed in the 1871 census, lodging at 101 Holm St in Blythswood, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, in the CARMICHAEL household, but he gave his occupation as farmer.⁹

Dugald died on 22 November 1879 at a cart on the road between Nth Connel Inn and Nth Ledaig farmhouse in Ardchattan, Argyllshire, at age 68 from 'disease of the heart'; his occupation was now given as sawyer.^7,10 He was buried at the Achnaba Cemetery in Ardchattan Church.⁷
