South Uist, Rev Alexander Macintosh

Alexander Macintosh was the Roman Catholic priest for Boisdale and South Uist when he gave evidence to the Napier Commission on 28 May 1883. He was the first of several priests to hold the curate between 1881 and 1907.

He is recorded in the 1881 census at Haven, South Uist, as a visitor staying with a family of Johnstons. His occupation is mentioned as R. C. priest at St Peters in Daliburgh. Alexander's place of birth is given as Arisaig, which ties in with his evidence that he is a native of Lochaber. Father Mackintosh remained in charge at Daliburgh until 1884.
