MacLeod of Dunvegan, General Norman (1754-1801)
Laird of Dunvegan, in Skye. He was Member of Parliament for Inverness-shire from 1790 to 1796, and was a supporter of the reforms urged by 'The Friends of the People'. Burns referred to him in 'Here's to them that's awa', as 'Chieftain MacLeod, a chieftain worth gowd'. Chambers stated that when MacLeod succeeded to his estates, there was a debt of £50,000 on them. When he died, the total had reached £70,000.
