In the early 1300s, came a great down turn in the Clan'sfortunes. Laumon's grandson, Sir Joh n, supported theMacDougalls of Lorne against Robert the Bruce.

The Lamonts of Ardlamont, however, who held their land as vassals of the High Steward in Bute , may have fought in Bruce's bodyguard at Bannockburn. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter,Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe.
