Alexander served as minister of Durness 1620-1633. It is said that when Alexander began his ministry, that the people were almost heathens, but that he had great success in reforming them.

He translated large sections of the Bible into Gaelic including the four Gospels and most of the Psalms. He also turned many Bible verses into rhyme, which became known as Sandy Munro's verses. He also composed several original Gaelic poems.

He died before 22 Dec 1653.
