Alick Morrison, THE CHIEFS OF CLAN MACLEOD, East Kilbride,Scotland, 1986. The BANNATYNE MANUSCRIPT, which is our main authority forthe history of the early chiefs of the Clan MacLeod, says that Malcolmwas 'renowned as the greatest hero of his race'. King David II gave him acharter of Glenelg, [see BOOK OF DUNVEGAN, I. pp. I, 275.] probably as areward for services rendered, but the MacLeods were in possession ofGlenelg long before they came to hold it from the King by charter.Malcolm married a daughter of Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe, [AlexanderMacKenzie, in his HISTORY OF THE MACLEODS (p. 12), says that Malcolmmarried Martha, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar. It is possible he mayhave married her as his second wife.] by whom he had issue.... ChiefMalcolm, as he advanced in life, became extremely corpulent, and wasknown as CALUM REAMHAR MATH (Good Stout Malcolm). The MEMORIAL (1767)says that he was called GILLECALUIM CAS REAMHAR (The Stout-leggedMalcolm). While on a visit to his kinsman, MacLeod of Lewis, Malcolm diedin the Castle of Stornoway, and his body was conveyed to Iona, where itwas buried. His death took place c. 1370. He was succeeded by his eldestson.
