He then had a five-year illness, during which time he resided with Alexander McColl of Duirinish on Skye. In 1870 he was ordained as minister of Kilcalmonell. In 1873 (despite some opposition from the presbytery) he translated to Kilmallie. He rejected two further calls but in September 1887 accepted a call to Inverness Free North Church, replacing Rev Dr George Mackay[2] where he remained for the rest of his life.[3][4] The church was given a new home in 1893 to a design by Alexander Ross,[5] and with a seating capacity of 1500 was one of the Free Church's largest churches.[6] In the Union of 1900 he remained in the Free Church.
