Memoirs and portraits of 100 Glasgow men: 60. Archibald McLellan [ebook chapter] / James MacLehose, 1886 |
 | | McLellan's life was enthusiastic devotion to every object calculated to elevate his native city, not only as regards its external improvement, but more especially in the cultivation and advancement of art in architecture, sculpture, painting, and music. |
 | | McLellan's views regarding the Western Tower and Consistory House, which, mainly through his instrumentality, were removed by Her Majesty's Commissioners when they undertook the restoration of the Cathedral. |
 | | McLellan was the first to suggest a new western approach to the Cathedral, and for the attainment of this object acquired the ground between Weaver Street and Stirling's Road, which was ultimately transferred to the municipal authorities and the Merchants' House for the purpose of carrying out the district improvements. |
