Lauchlan was born in Scotland in a small mining community. The family Maclean has been traced back to 1601. His Father, Lauchlan James Maclean, was a coal miner but also had his own band playing Accordion, Fiddle and on occasion Bagpipes. Lauchlan became rebellious and played guitar from a very early age Influenced greatly by the Beatles, Rolling Stones and later The Corries and Dubliners. Loved Country and Bluegrass but had picked up numerous songs and tunes from the Friday night parties that ensured a packed house with many not so sober musicians. Now he is a teacher of guitar, fiddle and mandolin and performer of music, (including the Bagpipes).
