B' e neach-teagaisg, b脿rd, s貌isealach, fear-cruinneachaidh 貌rain 's beul-aithris agus G脿idheal gu smior a bh'ann an Tormod Macle貌id. Rugadh e ann a Port Mhollair sa Rudha a Le貌dhas agus bha e a' teagasg ann a Sgoil Loch Croistein an 脵ig, a Sgoil a' Chnuic sa Rudha agus ann a Sgoil L矛onail ann a Nis. Bhiodh e a' sgr矛obhadh deilbh-chluiche ghoirid a bhiodh aig a' chloinn; a' cruinneachadh facail, abairtean, 貌rain agus sean-fhacail c貌mhla riutha; a' sgr矛obhadh a h-uile c脿il le aon chorraig air typewriter; agus an uair sin a' d猫anamh leabhraichean de na chruinnich e air am biodh e fh猫in a' cur c貌mhdach. Bha tape recorder aige cuideachd agus 's iomadh 貌ran is eile a chl脿r e leis. Bh脿saich Tormod ann a 1968. Anns a' phr貌gram seo, cluinnidh sinn an tuilleadh sheinneadairean a chaidh a chl脿radh le Tormod ann a sg矛re Nis agus cuideachd le mhac, Murchadh. 'S e Murchadh a tha toirt thugainn a' phr貌gram agus e a' cuimhneachadh air 脿m far a robh luchd-ceilidh a' tadhal thaighean a ch猫ile pailt agus na h-貌rain agus an fhealla-dh脿 a cheart cho pailt.
Norman Macleod, Am B脿rd Bochd, was a teacher, poet, writer, socialist, collector and conservator of Gaelic song and oral tradition, and a Gael to his very core. Norman worked tirelessly and incessantly to preserve and advance the Gaelic language and culture in all its forms but shunned any recognition or accolade. He was a man ahead of his time whose death in 1968 was untimely, but he left, in his collection and works, a lasting legacy worthy of acknowledgment. Today we hear more recordings of songs sung by the people of Ness made by Norman and also by his son, Murdo, who presents the programmes. The 50s and 60s was a time when people would often visit their home and when there was no shortage of singers or songs for a ceilidh.
