 CMSNA Publications MacLaren Standard Excerpt
One of the several honorable surnames associated with Clan MacLaren is that of Lowry.
Notwithstanding, the fact that the majority of the MacLarens were Presbyterians by the 18th Century, we found ourselves, largely, in support of the Stewart Kings.
The majority of American MacLarens who pronounce their name as some variant of Lowry, are probably descended from these three.

Further contributions were provoked on a number of occasions by discussions of Charles Maclaren's poplar introduction to glacial theory published in The Scotsman (and then in the form of a short book) although, sadly, little detail is given of what was said.
Maclaren was actively involved in the more elite geological circles of Edinburgh and Britain.
