This is to all the “Donald MacLeod’s” in the world. Our first name Donald means “ruler of the world” and our last name means “Ugly Wolves.” I think there was several public relations campaigns a few centuries back to change the ugly wolf to the son of a lion. I like “Ruler of the Ugly Wolves” so there you have it. There are “citations” at the bottom of this page that validate our claims. It’s all in fun and my goal is to highlight the thousands of men named Donald MacLeod. Not all at once. A few a week. Enjoy.
