Lauchlan... was born at St. Kilda in 1762 and was educated at a parish
school in Skye. He never attended a University. He was licensed by the
PResbytery of Skye and on the 13th November 1788, was ordained
minister of St. Kilda. he demitted his charge in 1830 and retired to live
in the house of Roderick MacGillivary, farmer at Baile in the Island of
Berneray, where he died and was buried in 1832. His funeral cost
MacGillivary £15 which he claimed from the Society for Propagating
Christian Knowledge. They obviously considered it was on far too lavish
a scale and only granted MacGillivary £12.10.0, which was the minister''s
half-yearly salary. He married Marion (who died in 1821 at St. Kilda),
daughter of Neil MacLean (descended from the MacLeans of Boreray)
tacksman of Kinloch, Dunvegan, with issue.
