The son of Sir Francis William Maclean and Mattie Sowerby, he was born at Kensington in November 1871.[1] He was educated at Eton College, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He toured Ceylon and India with Lord Hawke's XI in 1892–93, making his debut in first-class cricket on the tour against the Parsees at Bombay. He made three further first-class appearances on the tour,[3] scoring 63 runs on the tour, with a high score of 25.[4] In May 1893, he made a single first-class appearance for the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[3]

MacLean married Florence Pease in July 1896, with the couple having three children.[5] MacLean was a leading figure in the coal mining industry. He was the managing director of Broomhill Collieries from 1900–05 and served as the chairman of United Collieries from 1910–32. He was a member of both the Coal Advisory Committee and the Royal Commission on Mining Subsidence,[1] in addition to being a justice of the peace for Herefordshire and Northumberland.[5] He died at Ross-on-Wye in January 1951. His son, John, also played first-class cricket.
