I am afraid that your suggestion of Loch Dunfelchaig does not look like the place name written in the Bible. 

Google Translate gives Bell Rock for Creag nan Clag.

Hello
I have in my possession a Gaelic Bible that belonged to my GG Grandfather.  The inscription reads
"This Book belongs to me Hector Morison in Newton of Kinkell in An Crea ish  (??) 1830."

His wife spells her name Morrison.

I can find Newton of Kinkell on the Black Isle, but cannot find the next name.  Perhaps your study may come up with something.  Hector Morison/Morrison later moved to Inverness, where he was a Sawyer.

Hi AlanBoyd
I think you are right about his radicalism.

His children were called
Thomas Paine Carlile                 Very interesting
Matilda Henrietta Ransted (?)    Difficult to read.  Does not mean anything to me
Ann Amos
Mary Ann Eliza
Georgina
Jane Finlay
Arthur Trewelyn           
Margaret H
Henry George

Hi Little Nell
Excellent!
Death Cert shows his father as George Robinson (Carpenter) and mother as Anne Robinson.  Her maiden name is possibly Amos.

I can start looking for them!

I have been unable to find a record of their marriage, neither in Scotland nor England.  I searched registers of all denominations, although all their children were baptised in the Church of Scotland.

The Census shows just
                              Age                            Born in County        E or I if England or Ireland
Henry Robinson        27  Bookseller             blank                        E
Margaret ditto          21                              Y
Frances Wright ditto  1                               Y

I have an ancestor, Henry Robinson, logged in 1841 Census aged 27 in Edinburgh.  His birth place is marked E for England, which does not help much.  He married Margaret Finlay.

My search showed the following, and I wonder whether anyone could help me identify the right one.  Perhaps in your tree?
ROBINSON Henry 1813  Durham Durham baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry 1813  London Docklands Ancestors 
ROBINSON Henry 1814  Derbyshire Elmton, Derbyshire Baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry 1815  Suffolk Suffolk Baptism Index (part 1)

My tree includes first cousins marrying; also second cousins; also third cousins.  The good news is that my knuckles don't drag on the ground, and Family Historian can cope with this and draw useful charts.

My maternal Grandfather lived with his family on the Island of Luing in the Inner Hebrides, and were Gaelic speakers, but also spoke English.  Their name was spelled as McLean.  His father went on the Arizona Goldrush, and was logged in the US Census, Tombstone, Arizona as Mc Lean.

The family moved to Glasgow about 1900, and they decided that they would now be MacLean.
