Norman Maclean (3 May 1869 – 15 January 1952)[1] was a Scottish minister and religious author who served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1927.

However, after only two weeks he was summoned to Inverness to meet Rev Norman MacLeod who asked him to take over Benbecula parish church.

[3] He was the minister of St Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh from 1915 to 1936, succeeding Rev William Lyall Wilson.

His advocation of the restoration of a Jewish homeland caused the church authorities to remove him in January 1941.
