Former Dundee head teacher Norman Macleod has passed away at the age of 91.
Born in Garenin on the Isle of Lewis in 1919, Mr Macleod was a graduate of Glasgow University in 1939 before beginning his teacher training at Jordanhill College of Education.
However, his training was disrupted by the onset of war where he experienced spells in both the British army and Indian navy.
Returning to Scotland after the conflict, Mr Macleod completed his teaching qualification before moving to Dundee where he met Elizabeth (Betty), his wife of 58 years.
He first taught at Ancrum Road primary in 1946 and was named depute head of Mitchell Street primary in 1957 before moving on to similar posts at Rockwell Primary and MacAlpine Primary.
In 1969, he became head teacher at Rosebank, leaving a year later to take over at Mid Craigie Primary where he would stay for eight years before finishing his career at Blackness Primary.
Mr Macleod was a teachers representative on the Dundee Education Committee for six years and was chairman of the Dundee branch of the Educational Institute Scotland, who had honoured him with a fellowship in 1971.
A keen athlete and secretary of Dundee Thistle Harriers as well as a member of Scotscraig Golf Club for 43 years, Mr Macleod was also a champion for the Gaelic language and was chief and honorary chief of the Dundee Highland Society.
Mr Macleod is survived by his wife, sons Colin, Alasdair and Iain, and three grandchildren.
