Hector Mor Maclean was succeeded by his son Hector Og Maclean, also known as Hector Maclean the Younger. Hector Og lived only five years longer than his father.
During which short period he not only spent, by his improvident conduct and profligacy, all the ready money left by the late noble chief, but burdened the estates with debt. He appears to have inherited nothing of the qualities which distinguished his father, but lived at peace in the free enjoyment of his pleasures. He was the only worthless chief of MacLean. He appears to have built for himself a residence at Iona, situated near the head of Port-a-Churraich, where traces of the house are still shown.[1]
Hector Og Maclean married Janet Campbell, daughter of the Archibald Campbell, 4th Earl of Argyll, in the year 1557 and had the following children:[1][2]
Hector died during the latter part of 1573, or the beginning of 1574.[1]
