Archibald McLellan was a Glasgow coachbuilder, art collector, councillor and magistrate. The McLellan Galleries on Sauchiehall Street are named after him when Glasgow Corporation bought his galleries and art collection in 1856, which forms the basis of the civic collection of the city now centred on Kelvingrove Art Galleries.
