Mr MacLeod built many of the dry stone walls still visible today in the Halfway Bush area, and helped repair the more historic walls surrounding Ashburn Clinic.
He died on May 2, 2002, aged 89, and his dying wish was to have half his ashes buried with his wife at the Anderson's Bay Cemetery, and the remaining half scattered across the first stone wall he built on Dalziel Rd.
Son Roddy MacLeod said the stone walls were an early form of recycling.
"When he started clearing the scrub from the land [on the Hudson Block], he discovered it was covered in stones.
"Rather than leave them in a pile in the corner of the paddock, he used them to build fences."
On Saturday, family members complied with the late Mr MacLeod's wishes with a brief ceremony, in which his son Donald MacLeod paid tribute to his father.
"In these stone walls, he built his own monument.
"He will always be remembered, by his quick wit and sense of humour, attention to detail, and work ethics.
"He was an inspiration to all those around him."
