Born in 1907 at Inverness, Nova Scotia, MacLean was a businessman.[2] He married Jane Roberts in 1939.[2] From 1933 to 1945, he was the chief of police for Inverness.[2] He also served a term as mayor of Inverness.[2] MacLean entered provincial politics in a 1962 byelection, winning the seat left vacant following the death of his brother,[2] Roderick MacLean.[3] He was re-elected in the 1963,[4] and 1967 elections,[5] representing the dual-member riding with Progressive Conservative Jim MacLean.
