Further early recordings include: Nigel M'Gillon, the custodian of the castle of Scragburgh in 1329, and Walter Malynne, the abbot of Glenluce, from 1517 to 1545. The name is first recorded in the New World in 1804 when Hugh McLain arrived in America from Scotland. Today there are approximately 17,000 bearers of the name McLain living in the US.
