Niall MacLeòid was a Scottish Gaelic poet[1]. He was the son of Dòmhnall nan Òran (Dòmhnall MacLeòid)[2] and Annie MacSween[3], and brother of bard Iain Dubh MacLeòid[4].
He was born c. 1843 at Polloskin, Glendale, in north west Skye.
His major work, Clàrsach an Doire - Dàin, Òrain agus Sgeulachdan[5][6], was published in 1883 and ran to four editions in his lifetime[7].
"All his productions are characterised by purity of style and idiom, freshness of conception and gentleness of spirit, and liquid sweetness of versification."[8]
He died in 1913.
