St Columba’s Church, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
Grave slab for Roderick MacLeod VII (Died 1498)
This is the grave slab of Roderick MacLeod VII. I think the VII means he was the seventh MacLeod chieftain of Lewis rather than that he was the seventh Roderick. He would have had nominal allegiance to the Lord of the Isles in Islay until 1493 when John MacDonald forfeited his land and titles to James IV of Scotland. Roderick would have sworn allegiance to James IV in 1493 though Lewis remained effectively independent

The crofting village contains the historic Ui Church (Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais na h-Aoidhe), a large pre-Reformation Church. The present church buildings are believed to be medieval, built during two separate construction phases. They were constructed on the site believed to be the cell of St Catan, a contemporary of St Columba. The church was the burial ground of the MacLeods of Lewis.
