Obituary of Donald Walker from the Scottish Catholic Directory of 1839.
Died in Glengarry, Inverness-shire, on the 27th October, the Rev. Donald Walker, Pastor of the Catholic Congregation of that district. Mr Walker having studied for some time at Lismore, was sent to Valladolid, where he was ordained in April 1833, and returned to Scotland in the course of the same year. Having, for some time, been employed as a Missionary in South Uist, he was appointed to the Glengarry Congregation; which, by his death, and owing to the small number of Priests in the Western District, is in the mean time without a Resident clergyman.
