Neil McLeod was a Prince Edward Island lawyer,judge,politician,the fifth premier,and Leader of the Opposition during the amalgamation of the Prince Edward Island legislature. He was born at Uigg on the island to Roderick McLeod and Flora McDonald,Baptist immigrants from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. He was educated at the Uigg Grammar School and in Wolfville,Nova Scotia,articled in law at Charlottetown and was called to the bar in 1873. Four years later,his marriage to the beloved Isabella Jane Adelia Hayden,the Methodist granddaughter to Irish Roman Catholic immigrant and merchant John Roach Bourke,furthered Gaelic intersections among Islander cultural enclaves. McLeod was the child of immigrants from the Isle of Skye. Between 1886-1893,transcriptions by parliamentary reporters and petition amanuenses identified him as both "Neil McLeod" and "Neil MacLeod." Reporters included his 5th Queens district next to his name in order to distinguish him from Angus MacLeod. Charlottetown dailies that reproduced passages from the transcriptions also replicated the spelling variation during this period. Historians continue to research his positions on the 1882 replacement of French-language texts with bilingual readers for French Acadians,late nineteenth-century prohibitions on Canadian Gaelic,and corporal punishment in Prince Edward Island schools. During this period,McLeod practiced law with partner Edward Jarvis Hodgson before joining the McLeod,Morson,and McQuarrie law firm. He also served as Commissioner for the Poor House and as a "trustee" to the public Prince Edward Island Hospital for the Insane,which replaced the Lunatic Asylum following a Grand Jury inquest. In 2019,mental health officer and occupational therapist Tina Pranger examined the presents and pasts of the Hillsborough Hospital,providing a summation of previous assessments of the inquest by historians and curators.
