Norman, who was born about 1670, was known throughout the Highlands
and Islands as TORMOD MORE (Big Norman). He was joint factor with
Roderick MacLeod, 1st of the Uilinish family, in 1706, on the MacLeod
Estates, and thereafter MacLeod of MacLeod appointed him to police
Glenelg, whisch was in those days frequently raided by Lochaber
cattle-lifters. He removed from Drynoch to the tack of Ellanriach, where
he built a good house for his family. The house at Drynoch was allowed
to fall into decay. TORMOD MOR married, as his first wife, a lady of the
name of Ross, and by her had issue.
Norman (TORMOD MOR) MacLeod married, as his second wife, a Miss M.
MacKenie, of Scatwell, with issue.
