Progenitor of the MacLeods of Swordlan in Glenelg.
The MacLeod family of Swordlan in Glenelg was descended from
Alexander MacLeod, 2nd of the MacLeods of Glendale [See note, The
MacLeods of Glendale]. Alexander, second son of Alexander, 2nd of
Glendale, was its progenitor.
The BANNATYNE MANUSCRIPT, followed by Alexander MacKenzie, in his

Swordlan died, leaving no issue, but the Rev. Donald MacKinnon, D.D., in
his NOTES ON THE MACLEODS OF ARNISDALE, maintains that he had at
least one son, Angus, who succeeded him at Swordlan. It is not known
when Alexander MacLeod, 1st of Swordlan, died.
