Born in Moulin, Perthshire, in 1794, he was the son of the Rev. Dr. Alexander Stewart of Moulin and later became one of the best-known ministers of the Church of Scotland in his own generation. He served in Cromarty and then in Dingwall before moving to Edinburgh as a minister of Canongate.
He was known not only as a preacher but also as a strong Gaelic scholar. Accounts of his life describe a ministry marked by deep personal conviction, pastoral energy, and a serious concern for spiritual renewal.
He died in 1849. Readers interested in Scottish church history often remember him for the combination of learning, eloquence, and heartfelt religion that shaped both his preaching and his reputation.
