Notes From Elsewhere
Born in Ayr on 18 January 1799, McClelland moved to Glasgow in 1815, working initially in the accountancy office of James Kerr. In March 1824 he began business on his own and came to be regarded as the city's leading accountant. In 1853, when the Institute of Professional Accountants was formed, McClelland was elected president.
He was interested in education, jointly establishing (in 1849) the Glasgow Sunday Educational Association and then the Glasgow Secular School Society. He was also a believer in phrenology.
In 1872 he sailed to the United States, his second trip across the Atlantic, and in 1875, aged 76, he visited his daughter in India. He had retired to London, and died there on 24 October 1879.
