Norman Macleod

The biography traces the subject’s family origins and upbringing in the Highlands, follows his education and early athletic pursuits, and recounts his long ministerial career including parish service, involvement in ecclesiastical controversies, pastoral methods, preaching style, editorial and literary work, public engagements at royal and broad-church events, travels abroad culminating in a final mission to India, and his death. It combines chronological narrative with thematic chapters on theology, social influence, and personal correspondence, illustrated by contemporary extracts and reflections.
