ALEXANDER, who, according to Mackenzie, in his " History of the MacIeods," left no issue. The late Rev. Donald Mackinnon, D.D., ofStrath, Skye, in MS. " Notes on the Macleods of Arnisdale," maintains that Alexander, brother of Kenneth Macleod, progenitor of the MacLeods of Arnisdale, was married and had a son.

!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS -- THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section III, "MacLeod Cadet Families", Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1970, pp. 64, 89. 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 HISTORY OF THE MACLEODS (p. 208)], says that Alexander MacLeod of 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.
