Norman MacLean

Norman MacLean

Comedian, singer, composer, musician, linguist, actor, author, and favourite of Sean Connery and Billy Connolly. Norman Maclean was born in Glasgow in 1936, and educated at school and university in Glasgow, before going on to teach all over Scotland. He garnered much fame after winning two Gold Medals at the National Mod – for poetry and singing – in the same year, 1967, the only person ever to do so. Shortly afterwards he began a career, as he would say himself, as a clown, and it is in that role, and that of a musician, that he is still best-known today despite also being a star of television and radio.
