Bio Notes: Hugh Hough Maclure (his middle name also being variously spelt Heugh or Heuch) was born c.1821, the son of Andrew MacLure, master plasterer and Margaret Marshall. He was related to the engineers of the Glasgow and South Western Railway (although it is not clear which ones), and carried out both architectural and civil engineering work for that company. He must have commenced practice in 1844 or 1845, as his entry in the 'Architect's, Engineer's and Building Trades' Directory' of 1868 describes him as being in practice for 23 years. In the latter year his office was in Sauchiehall Street and by that time he had been responsible for 'railways, roadbridges' and had written on 'The Sewage of Glasgow and Neighbourhood'.

MacLure married Eliza Reid and they had a son, W R MacLure. Hugh H MacLure died of rheumatic gout, pruritis and enlarged prostate at his home, Wellwood, Bearsden, New Kilpatrick on 31 July 1892.
