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. 80, 95-96. He was the first son of Captain Alexander MacLeod (of the LORD MANSFIELD East Indiaman), I of Harris, younger brother of Norman MacLeod VI of Berneray. He spent a considerable part of his life in India, where he held a lucrative appointment with the Nizam of Hyderabad. When he returned to Harris in 1802, there was a great demand for land in the Hebrides and the kelp industry was almost booming. The proprietor of Harris rejoiced that his shores were "lined with silver". He was anxious to raise the rents but his tacksmen showed no disposition ot co-operate with him. In 1807, he brought a successful action against his cousin, Isabella MacLeod of Berneray. He terminated her tack of the island and its pertinents and forthwith divided the property among the crofters. St. Kilda was sold to Lt.-Col. Donald MacLeod of Auchagoyle for £1,350 in 1804. His name, he changed from MacLeod to Hume and finding the climate at Rodel uncongenial, he lived in England. Alexander (MacLeod) Hume II of Harris married Miss Wrangham in India, with issue.
