Notes

!SOURCE: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS -- THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section II, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1968, pp. 95, 99. Purchased Orbost, Skye. The MacLeods of Orbost in the parish of Duirinish, Skye, were descended from Norman MacLeod, 6th of the MacLeods of Berneray. When Norman died in 1803, his great wealth was inherited by his wodow, and his three surviving daughters: Isabella, who was unmarried, Anne, who was the wife of Captain Norman MacLeod of Bernisdale in the parish of Snizort, and Margaret, who was the wife of Angus Campbell of the Campbells of Ensay in the Sound of Harris. After her father's death, Isabella, known as ISEABAIL BHEARNARAIDH, continued in Berneray until 1807, when Alexander Hume, her own first cousin, who had succeeded to Harris, brought a successful action against her in the Court of Session, resulting in her dispossession of the tack. She then made her home at Orbost, where she died in 1839. As proprietrix of Orbost, she is designated here 1st of the MacLeods of Orbost. Isabella MacLeod, who died in 1839, was succeeded at Orbost by her nephew, William MacLeod, and his wife, Margaret Campbell, her niece.
