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.

Failte gu làrach-lìn Tasglann Aonghais Macleoid far am faic sibh àireamh mor de na nithean a dh'fhàg Aonghas 'Ease' Macleoid M.B.E. (1916-2002) à Taobh Deas na Lochan, Eilean Leòdhais. Tha an tasglann gu lèir, a tha làn de na paipearan pearsanta, leabhraichean, pictearan agus teipichean aige, air fhoillseachadh aig Gob Rubha an Fhithich, Cearsadair, Eilean Leòdhais (fon 01851 880737).

Ged a tha cuid mhath de'n tasglann anns a Ghàidhlig – gu h-àraidh 'Sgeulachdan às an Taigh Ceilidh' – b'fheàrr le Aonghais a bhith sgrìobhadh anns a Bheurla. Coltach ri chuid as motha de'n ginealach aige, cha robh e comhfhurtail le bhith sgrìobhadh anns a Ghàidhlig, agus tha an tasglann air oidhirp seo a dheanamh follaiseach.

Tha na cuspairean anns an tasglann a teagaisg mu dheadhain cultair agus eachdraidh an Gaidhealtachd agus nan Eileannan Siar air fad, agus chan e mhàin Taobh Deas nan Loch agus Eilean Leòdhais.
