I'm pretty sure that I am quoting from the Campbell clan chief when I say:
THERE IS NO DRESS CAMPBELL [TARTAN]--repeat! repeat! repeat!
This is an excerpt from a letter that the duke wrote to the Campbell Clan Society of USA.

Well clearly there is such a tartan, I think what you mean to say is that it is not one of the official tartans designated by the Duke of Argyll (the chieftain of Clan Campbell).

Yes, you are quite correct. The tartan exists, but isn't recognized. So I wonder how he (the duke) feels about it being called a Campbell tartan. I would think that he doesn't appreciate it very much.

The Duke of Argyll is a chief, actually, not a chieftain.

Maclean of Ardgour, or Maclean of Dochgarroch, for examples, are MacLean chieftains who descend along different lines from Gillean of the Battleaxe ( I believe ).
I could be wrong, but I believe that the Clan Campbell has no cheiftains, per se. Campbell of Lochnell would certainly be one, if the Campbells used this title in the traditional sense.
Chieftains wear two eagle feathers in their bonnets, while a chief wears three.
