Half sister of Isobel Randolph and Isabel? du Kilconquhar.
Married first Sir Neil Campbell of Lochow. Mother of Dougal Campbell, John Campbell, Earl of Atholl, and Duncan Campbell. Widowed.
Married second c. March 1316 Alexander Fraser of Touchfraser and Cowie. Mother of John Fraser of Touchfraser, Sir William Fraser of Cowie and Durris, and Margaret Fraser of. Touchfraser.
In the spring of 1307 in the wars with the English Kings Edward I and II for the Scot throne's independence from England, she was captured in the sanctuary at St. Duthac, at Tain in Easter Ross. William, Earl of Ross handed her over to the English along with her brother, King Robert's other female relatives: his sisters, Christina Bruce and Marjorie Bruce, his wife, Queen Elizabeth de Burgh, and a supporter Isabella MacDuff. By order of King Edward I of England, she was then held prisoner in an iron or wooden cage exposed to the public view in Roxburgh Castle. Isabella MacDuff was imprisoned in a similar cage at Berwick Castle. They were both transferred to better conditions in 1310, not necessarily for humane motives , but perhaps because Mary was gaining strength, the women were potentially valuable hostages, and the English did not want them to die of exposure.
She was eventually released in exchange for English noblemen captured at the Battle of Bannockburn.
She died at Ross & Cromarty, Fearn, Highland, Scotland.
Both her second husband and her son, John Campbell with her first husband, died in the war to defend the Scots throne again for the child, King David II, from King Edward III of Angleland.
