MacLeay showed only one painting at the Royal Academy in London (in 1839). View near the Head of Loch Eil, Invernesshire. Despite its date, Head of Loch Eil may be this work, which was exhibited the following year at the Scottish Academy. 

MacNeill Macleay ARSA, 1806 - 1878

Macleay was born in Oban, the younger brother of the painter Kenneth Macleay. Brought up in Oban, Crieff and Glasgow, he began exhibiting with the Dilettanti Society in Glasgow in 1828. He appears to have moved to Edinburgh the following year. His work is almost exclusively landscape, predominantly scenes in the Highlands in a style similar to that of Horatio McCulloch. In 1831 (and possibly again later) he visited northern Europe. A prolific artist, Macleay exhibited his work at the Scottish Academy every year, with one exception, from 1829 to 1878.
