Tha Tasglann Aonghais Macleoid (1916 - 2002) à Leòdhas air ais air-loidhne a-nis - cruinneachadh phàipearan is chlàraidhean inntinneach sa Bheurla is sa Ghàidhlig.

Welcome to the Angus Macleod Archive website, which contains a selection of material left by the late Angus 'Ease' Macleod MBE (1916-2002) of South Lochs in the Isle of Lewis. His full archive of personal papers, books, photographs, and recordings is available for reference and research at the Ravenspoint Centre, Kershader, South Lochs, Isle of Lewis (tel 01851 880737).

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.

I bet the originals have bóth kinds of accent.

I don't like the GOC in general, but to me it's just insulting and unnecessary to revise someone else's writing. (See also Scottish Gaelic Texts Society.(
