Hugh McPherson
|
Hugh McPherson was the Chief Magistrate of Grangemouth from 1878 to 1892. In 1893 the post was replaced by that of Provost. As Chief Magistrate he oversaw the growth in the town and its industries, gifting land for civic purposes (such as the town hall), setting up the electric power station and enabling the docks to expand.
In 1877 Hugh McPherson joined with D McLaren to set up the Forth Saw Mill on the edge of the Docks, immediately north of Station Rd. It was known locally as “M & M’s”. There were several woodyards in the area specialising in pit props, telegraph poles, boxes, etc. Hugh McPherson died on 8th May 1899. |
