Douglas Maclean

Sir Robert Donald Douglas Maclean (7 November 1852 – 7 February 1929), generally known as Douglas Maclean but earlier spelled McLean like his father, was one of the largest land holders in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. He was regarded as the country's most successful breeder of shorthorn cattle and Welsh Ponies. He had inherited his station from his father, Donald McLean, who was one of the most influential figures in Māori-Pākehā relations in the mid-1800s. For one term, Douglas Maclean represented the electorate as an independent Conservative member of parliament. After his death, his station was broken up and the land is now covered by 60 farms. The woolshed of his station still exists. It is registered as a Category I heritage structure by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
==Early life==
His parents, Donald McLean and Susan Douglas Strang, married on 28 August 1851 in Wellington. He was born in that city a good year later and shortly afterwards, his mother died in December 1852. His father was deeply affected by the loss and never remarried. He was known as Douglas,〔 and initially used his father's spelling of the surname as McLean, but later changed to and preferred Maclean (with an 'a' and a lower case 'l').
He spent most of his early years in Napier, but received his education at Auckland Grammar School. He left New Zealand in 1864〔 for further study at Temple Grove in Surrey and Clifton College in Bristol, England. He returned to New Zealand and worked for the Wellington law firm of Hart and Buckley. He was an able athlete and won the first two bicycle races held in Wellington, and was one of the very early rugby players.
After several years, he returned to England to study law. He was called to the bar in that country, but did not practice.〔 He returned to New Zealand in 1870 and inherited his father's Maraekakaho Station in 1877.〔 In October 1877, he set up the Te Makarini Trust in memory of his father. From the initial endowment of £3,000, Te Aute College is providing annual scholarships to gifted Māori students.
