Suibhne was a late 12th century, and early 13th century, lord in Argyll. He does not appear in contemporary records, although his name appears in the patronymic names of two of his sons. Suibhne appears in the 16th century Leabhar Chlainne Suibhne, which documents the early history of Clann Suibhne. This account claims that he is the ancestor of Irish clan, and that he was the builder of Castle Sween in Knapdale, Argyll. Suibhne is said to be identical to the Swineruo, or Suibhne Ruadh ('Suibhne the Red'), recorded in the Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells, a 17th century Clan Campbell genealogy.
