Alexander Macleod was born in Balachladaich, Stoer, Assynt in 1786. In 1808 he entered King’s College, Aberdeen to study theology. He was licenced on 19th October 1818 by the Presbytery of Tongue and ordained in the Gaelic Church of Dundee on 16th December 1819. In September 1821 he was translated to the Gaelic Chapel in Cromarty and received an assignment to become the minister in Uig in April 1824. Prior to his arrival the initial stages of the revival were in the hands of itinerant lay-ministers or Gaelic language teachers. It was in the services led by these individuals that the revival became discredited by ministers of area churches. The denunciations leveled at the revival were due to what was classified as emotional “excesses” and “enthusiasm,” or “religious delusions.” Most of these discrediting attacks came to an end as Macleod came onto the scene and brought biblical balance to the movement.
