Stornoway Gazette, 1 May 1942
It was with deep regret that his numerous friends in all parts of Scalpay learned that Seaman Roderick Macleod (Roddy Ian Mhurachaidh) of 33 Cnoc Ard, had lost his life at the early age of 35. Roddy was attached to the Merchant Service. He went to sea at an early age and earned for himself a good reputation with various shipping companies as a capable and efficient seaman. In the island of Scalpay he was highly respected by old and young, for he possessed outstanding qualities, which enabled him to establish friendship with everyone, especially among the younger generation. His loss has indeed left a blank but he will remain in our memory for ever. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his sorrowing brother and sisters, who are left to mourn the loss of a devoted brother.
