My knowledge of Norman McLeod stems almost entirely from a book entitled "Watchman Against the World: The Remarkable Journey of Norman McLeod & his People from Scotland to Cape Breton Island to New Zealand", by Cape Bretoner Flora McPherson. It has information that contradicts some statements in this article. For one, the book explains that McLeod went to King's College in Aberdeen to complete a four-year arts degree, but he only completed two of three years of his divinity degree at universtiy in Edinburgh. This meant he could not be recognized as a minister by the Church of Scotland. This did not prevent him from preaching to a small colonial community in Nova Scotia, as the article says, but he was not formally recognized as a minister until he was ordained by the Caledonia church in the US in 1826.
