Rev Lachlan Mackenzie (1754-1819) was a Church of Scotland minister in Lochcarron, a village in the Wester Ross area of the Highlands of Scotland.
Known as "Mr Lachlan" he was "a man of undissembled piety, great integrity, and remarkable for his zeal, sacred eloquence, and usefulness.
"[2] As the parish minister, he submitted an Account of the Parish of Lochcarron to Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster's Old (or First) Statistical Account of Scotland, published between 1791 and 1799.
He appended a poem created for the occasion, Statistical Account of Lochcarron, which Sir John read to the House of Commons.
[4] There are many anecdotes associated with his ministry, including a notable sermon on "Behold, I stand at the door and knock" Rev 3:20 preached in the Old Parish Church of St Nicholas, Aberdeen.
