While there, he had to hold regular worship services in various places, including Corpach, Caol, Blaich, Trislaig and Kinlochiel.

[2] It is possible that Macleod's most lasting influence came through the classroom, where he taught virtually every prospective Free Church minister for decades.

In 2011, his son, John Macleod, a writer and newspaper columnist, said that there were only three currently serving Free Church of Scotland ministers who hadn't studied with him.

He also wrote for other titles including The Banner of Truth, Reformation Today, The Observer and the Stornoway Gazette.

[7] A series of public lectures was delivered at St. Vincent St Free Church in Glasgow in 1988-1989 under the title “Know the Truth”.

These, together with a 3rd series delivered at Smithton Culloden Free Church in 1991-1992, were transcribed and formed the basis of a popular book “A Faith to Live By”.

[8] From 1991 to 2015 Macleod lectured every year, usually five times, on winter Friday evenings, at Falkirk Free Church.

The Sheriff court found that "the women had all lied in the witness box to further the ends of Professor Macleod's enemies in the Free Church of Scotland.
