Iain Macleod
Macleod met Evelyn Hester Mason, "née" Blois, (1915–1999) in September 1939 whilst he was waiting to be called up for army service and she interviewed him for a job as an ambulance driver. After her first husband was killed in the war, they married on 25 January 1941. The Macleods had a son and a daughter, Torquil and Diana, who were born in 1942 and 1944 respectively. They had a somewhat stormy marriage in which they retained a strong bond despite Macleod conducting a number of what his biographer describes as "romances" with other women (he quotes love letters written by Macleod but does not specifically say they went as far as sexual affairs). As was common for MPs' wives of the era, Eve looked after constituency matters whilst her husband concentrated on his career at Westminster.
Norman MacLeod (British Army officer)
He was born at Brodie House in Nairn on 4 March 1754 the only son of John MacLeod 19th of MacLeod (clan chief), and his wife Emilia Brodie, daughter of Alexander Brodie (1697-1754). He spent his first 10 years with his mother in Hampshire being tutored privately. He was then sent to live with his grandfather in St Andrews then went to St Andrews University 1769/70 but removed due to a “sexual escapade” and then went to University College, Oxford in 1770.
