Alistair Maclean

Born in Glasgow, raised in the Highlands, author of several rollicking good adventure yarns, including "Ice Station Zebra" and "The Guns of Navarone".

John Maclean

No, not the Bruce Willis character in the "Die Hard" movies. If this John Maclean were to have a film made about him, the difference is it would be a good one. He was Scotland's first Marxist revolutionary, imprisoned in 1916 for encouraging the Scottish masses to revolt. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, he was released and the new communist government in Moscow recognised his efforts to free the enslaved proletariat of Kelvinside by making him Soviet Consul in Scotland. The British government also recognised his efforts and threw him straight back in jail.

Sorley Maclean

The Gaelic is a language hoaching with famous poets. Sorley Maclean was the greatest Gaelic poet of the 20th century.

Jim McLean

Permanently miserable former Manager and Chairman of Dundee United who always has a face on him like he's swallowed a container load of soor plooms. The man definitely needs to lighten up or buy a happy mask.

Maclean's Toothpaste

What everyone needs for a brighter smile. Jim McLean has obviously never used it.
