Biography
Norman MacLeod of MacLeod was born on 18 July 1812 at Dunvegan, Skye.[1] He was the son of John Norman MacLeod of MacLeod (1788–1835),[2] 24th chief of Clan MacLeod and his wife Anne Stephenson (–1861).[3] He was educated at Harrow and then went abroad to Paris and Vienna. In 1835, when he was 23 years of age, his father died, and succeeded to the chiefship of Clan MacLeod.[1]
MacLeod of MacLeod attempted many costly improvements at Dunvegan Castle, as well as unsuccessful ventures in farming; and greatly encumbered the clan estates and thus ruined himself.[1]
In 1837, MacLeod of MacLeod married the Hon. Louisa Barbara St. John (1818–1880), only daughter of the 14th Baron St John of Bletso. In this first marriage, MacLeod of MacLeod had a daughter and four sons. His daughter Louisa married John Moyer Heathcote. In 1881 he married, secondly, Hanna, daughter of Baron von Ettingshausen (Austria). MacLeod of MacLeod had no children in his second marriage.[1]
Norman MacLeod of MacLeod died in Paris, France on 5 February 1895; and was buried at Duirinish Church at Dunvegan.[1]
Succession of the chiefship after his death
Norman MacLeod of MacLeod's eldest son, Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod (1839–1929), succeeded him as 26th chief of the clan. The 26th chief died without male issue.[4] Norman MacLeod of MacLeod's second eldest son, Torquil Olave (1841–1857) had earlier died without issue as well.[5] Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod was, therefore, succeeded by Norman MacLeod of MacLeod's third son, Sir Reginald MacLeod of MacLeod (1847–1935), as the 27th chief of Clan MacLeod. Sir Reginald MacLeod of MacLeod had no sons, but two daughters. After his death he was succeeded by his eldest daughter Dame Flora MacLeod of MacLeod (1878–1976), 28th chief and first female chief of the clan.[6][7]
