Alive in 1626 [Register of the Privy Council 1616], held a tack of
Trumpan in Waternish, where he was succeeded by his son, Donald. The
BANNATYNE MANUSTCRIPT states that there were many families in the
area descended from the Clan mac mhic Alasdair Ruaidh and it is very
probable that these are descended from Alasdair Ban.

Alasdair Ban was the son of Alasdair Ruadh. His elder brother, Alasdair
Ruadh, was the progenitor of the MacLeods of Pabbay, St. Kilda,
Varkasaig, Bay, Balmore and Gillen. Alasdair Ban was born c. 1570. He
represented the Clan Alasdair Ruaidh in 1616 before the Scottish Privy
Council for Rory Mor, XV Chief, as a leader of one of the ancient families,
with his cousin, Neil of the MacLeods of Borline. He held Trumpan in
Waternish at the time. He was married, with issue.
