Biographical history

Major C.I.N. MacLeod was born in Dornie, Scotland. His father was the local schoolmaster and MacLeod himself was a graduate of Celtic Studies programs in Glasgow and Edinburgh. He emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1959 to act as an educator in Gaelic at St. Ann's Gaelic College but left when he discovered that no program had been established. He then took up the recently established post of Gaelic Adviser to the Nova Scotia Department of Education. His role in this position was to train Gaelic teachers and establish a form of curriculum that could be used in adult Gaelic language classes. He was hired to establish the department of Celtic Studies at St. Francis Xavier University in 1958, a position which he held until his death in 1977. While at the university, he cooperated with Helen Creighton in producing the book, Gaelic Songs IN Nova Scotia.
