Biography
Malcolm (MacLeod) MacLeod IIIrd of Raasay was born in Scotland.
Malcolm (MacLeod) MacLeod IIIrd of Raasay is a member of Clan MacLeod.
Malcolm was born about 1545. He was the son of Alexander MacLeod. He passed away about 1605.
Malcolm was the youngest son of Alexander MacLeod of Raasay, was born about 1545 and survived the Massacre of the Isle of Isay through the efforts of his foster father, Malcolm MacNeil. In 1596 his name appeared as “Mac Gillicallum filio et heredi Alister vic Gillicaluim de Rasay”. He took part in the raids against the Mackenzies in Gairloch. Malcolm married Isabel, illegitimate daughter of Kenneth MacKenzie of Kintail who acquired the charters and then the Isle of Lewis in 1610.
Malcolm had at least four sons and a daughter. He was to be succeeded by two sons, Malcolm Og and Alexander. His son John fell into a feud with the Banes of Tulloch and was killed in 1597. A daughter married her cousin Hector, second son of Alexander Roy Mackenzie of Gairloch. Murdoch Dubh, an illegitimate son became a great warrior, from whom descends the MacLeods of Marrishader.
Malcolm “retired” as Laird of Raasay and handed over to his son Alexander. [1]
Research Notes
The MacLeods of Raasay descend from Malcolm, Ninth Chief of the Lewes who, about 1510, gave his second son, Malcolm, called Calum Garbh, (‘Rough’ Malcolm), the islands of Raasay and Rona, and the lands of Coigeach and Gairloch on the mainland. Malcolm was the third chief Macleod of Raasay. Malcolm “retired” as Laird of Raasay and handed over to his son Alexander.
