ANGUS MACLEOD ARCHIVE
The archive based at Ravenspoint Centre is packed full with personal papers, books, photographs, and recordings all available for
reference and research.
The Angus Macleod Archive website, contains a
selection of material left by the late Angus 'Ease' Macleod MBE
(1916-2002) of South Lochs in the Isle of Lewis.
While a
significant part of the Archive is in Gaelic - see particularly some of
the stories in 'From the Ceilidh House' - Angus generally preferred to
write in English. Indeed, like many of his generation of native Gaelic
speakers, he was not comfortable with writing Gaelic, and the format of
the Archive faithfully reflects this cultural pattern.
The
scope and interest of the Archive extends much more widely than South
Lochs or even Lewis to encompass themes which are relevant to the
history of the Highlands and Islands more generally.
The Angus Macleod Archive has been developed as a joint initiative between
The Islands Book Trust and
