Neil Maclean, Scottish, socialist, 1875 - September 12, 1953. A member of the Independent Labour Party (ILP), he worked closely with other socialists in the Glasgow area and as such he is viewed as being part of the Red Clydeside period. Maclean was greatly influential to Manny Shinwell in persuading him of the virtues of socialism. In the 1918 General Election Maclean was elected to the House of Commons to represent the Govan seat in Glasgow. He retired from Parliament in 1950 when he could not secure his renomination.
