Notes for Lt-Cmdr Henry Hugh Maclean RN
On 2 March 1955 The Times published this obituary of him:
CMDR. NACLEAN IF ARDGOUR
Connander henry Hug Mac-Mhic-Eoghain Maclean, eighteenth Hereditary Chieftain of Ardgour, died recently at his him on Hampshire at the age of 83.
He was born at Fort George, Mauritius, on November 20, 1871, being the second son of Lieutenant-Colonel Allan Maclean, R.H.A., who was then the A.D.C. to his father, General Peter Maclean. He went to sea at an early age and rounded Cape Horn four times in the barque Iron Crag, and once in the barque Valalta. On the death of his older brother in 1908 he succeeded to the estate of Lazenby Hall, in Cumberland. His love for the sea, however, continued, and yachting became an absorbing interest. During the 1914-18 War he commanded the armed yacht Hersilia, based on Stornoway and later served at Dunkirk and Kantara.
On the death of his two cousins, one in 1930, the other in 1932, he became the eldest living male representative of the house, branch and family of the Macleans of Argour, and was therefore acknowledged by the Chief and the Clan Maclean Association in Glasgow as the eighteenth Hereditary Chieftain of Ardgour in October 1934, an honour which he held to the day of his death. The Lord Lyon King-at-Arms, Sir Fracnis Grant, granted him arms in his own right as Mac-Mhic-Eoghain, and later added supporters as heir-male of the Barony of Ardgour.
He married in 1909 Rosemary, second daughter of Henry de Courcy Hamilton.
