528 HISTORY OF THE OUTER HEBRIDES. 



reconciled to his enemy, and thereafter lived on good terms 

 with him, religious differences notwithstanding. Kenneth 

 had two sons, one of whom, Murdoch, was a merchant in 

 Stornoway. Kenneth was succeeded at Stornoway by his 

 cousin, Donald Morison, who died in 1746. 



Aulay Macaulay, the minister of Harris who figured in 

 the history of Prince Charlie's wanderings, was the grand- 

 son of Angus Macaulay of Brenish, who was killed at 

 Auldearn in 1645, and great-grandson of Donald Cam, the 

 old enemy of the Morisons. That the relations between 

 the two clans had altered considerably, is evident from the 

 fact that Aulay Macaulay was married to a daughter of 

 Kenneth Morison, the minister of Stornoway. He had at 

 least three sons, ^neas, John, and Kenneth. John was 

 minister, successively of Barra, South Uist, Lismore, and 

 Inverary, and ended his days as minister of Cardross in 

 Dumbartonshire. We have already described his attempt, 

 in conjunction with his father, to have Prince Charles 

 Edward arrested at Stornoway. His son, Zachary, was the 

 famous slavery abolitionist, and Zachary's son was the 

 still more famous Lord Macaulay. Kenneth, the third of 

 Aulay's sons, was minister of Ardnamurchan, and after- 

 wards of Cawdor. He wrote a book on St. Kilda, which 

 Dr. Johnson described as a " well-written book, except 

 some foppery about liberty and slavery." 



The Presbytery of the Long Island embraced by 

 Synod of Glenelg was, in 1724, disjoined from the Presby- 

 tery of Skye, and erected by the General Assembly. In 

 1742, the Presbytery was divided, and erected into two 

 distinct Presbyteries, viz., Lewis and Uist, the latter in- 

 cluding Harris, formerly the parish of Kilbride. The 

 register of the Presbytery of Lewis begins in July, 1742, 

 and that of Uist in February, 1768, the previous records 

 having been lost at sea by the upsetting of a boat, when 

 the crew and the passengers were drowned.* In the parish 

 of Stornoway, embracing the ancient parish of Ui and a
