    Charles Maclaren was born in Ormiston, East Lothian on 7 October 1782. His father was a small farmer and cattle dealer and his mother was Christian M'Kell. It was intended that he should become a smith, but, his constitution not being sufficiently robust, he spent some time as a clerk in several Edinburgh firms. In 1816, the idea of an independent newspaper was formed, the result was The Scotsman. In 1820 Charles MacLaren resigned his clerkship in the Custom House and became full-time editor. He held the post until 1847. At the same time he contrived to be an extensive author, and to travel, to Greece, Troy and the United States. He retired in 1847, and died on 10 September 1866; Ruthven Sime managing clerk Pigot 1825.

At length he 'sold his bookseller business to E. Johnstone, and intends to devote himself solely to printing' Stirling Advertiser 21 January 1831.
