GEORGE MACLELLAN BLAIR died on January 4, 1902. For the long period of forty-seven years he was intimately associated with the firm of P. & W. MacLellan. Becoming manager in the year 1862, he was made a partner by his uncles, the founders of that firm, in June 1866.

He was well known in commercial circles in London and the Midlands.

Being elected a deacon in 1869, he accepted the office of the eldership shortly before his death. He was a Justice of the Peace for the Lower Ward of Lanarkshire (now the city of Glasgow) for twenty-one years.
He was elected a member of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1885.
