Preface to the 2020 edition
This history was written in 2009 for the members of the John and Jane McClure Family
Picnic of Carluke. The sources and additional details are included in end-notes. All
opinions and editorial comments, geographical and historical facts and errors of all
sorts, unless credited, are the responsibility of the author, Ann McRae.
The maps starting on page 13 are in the public domain and are available at public
libraries in the reference section, or on the internet. Photos of McClures since 1980 are
from Ann McRae. The others are of unknown date or origin.
The original printed edition (2009 and 2012) included charts, names and personal data
of living persons. In accordance with accepted genealogical on-line practices, full names
and birthdates of living persons have been deleted or masked. McClure family members
and those seeking such information for genealogical purposes should contact the author
directly.
