As clergyman, schoolmaster and magistrate, he moulded the character of this community for a generation. Born at Stoer Point, Assynt, Scotland, he emigrated to Pictou in 1817, led his band of Scots to St. Ann in 1820 and remained here until 1851, when he again led his followers first to Australia and finally to New Zealand.

Also see . . . Norman McLeod (MacLeod) - Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Sincere, courageous, and totally committed to his cause, McLeod could not be described as open-minded in religious matters. He died as he had lived, lamenting the worlds madness. (Submitted on December 31, 2014, by Barry Swackhamer of Brentwood, California.)
