This honorable dog is my great-great-great-great-grand-father! He had forty children and eighty grandchildren. One of his daughters, Simone, is the one who came from Scotland to America in search of a dream in the early 1900's. The precise data I don't have yet (I am confident I'll eventually find it)...It's amazing how much information you find hovering around on the web...
Of course, all this wouldn't have this much of relevance if it wasn't for the fact that Lord McLeod belonged to a very wealthy man in Inverness, Scotland who commissioned him to manage all the moors he owned in that region. He was the most sought-after dog in Scotland back then....
But there is more: his image became legendary and immortalized forever after James Buchanan, an acquaintance of McLeod, asked him to pose for the Black & White portrait that was used to tag the famous Scottish whisky he had created....
Coming up next, I'll be revealing more of this fascinating story! With documents, memorabilia and pictures from the McLeod Family Trust Archives.
