Alexander Brown McLachlan
Alexander was a son of Artt McLachlan, a portioner and publican from Luing, who ran his wine and spirit business initially from 72 Great Clyde Street, and from 1856 at 99-101 Great Clyde Street, in Glasgow. The latter property was just to the west of the Custom House and was known as the Custom House Vaults. While one son went to sea and another became a medical student, three of the boys, including Alexander, worked with their father in the wine & spirit business at Great Clyde Street.
