D. Macleod (Donald Macleod) Malloch

Donald Macleod Malloch was a Scottish author remembered for books that mix anecdote, humor, and observation. Records for his published work identify him as the author of The Book of Glasgow Anecdote (1912), a substantial collection centered on Glasgow's people, institutions, and everyday life.

He is also known as the co-author, with George Alexander Morton, of Law and Laughter, a collection of humorous legal stories and sayings. The book was published after his death, and library and memorial records place his lifespan at 1869 to December 11, 1912.

Although not much biographical detail is easy to confirm, his surviving books suggest a writer deeply interested in character, conversation, and the comic side of public life. For listeners who enjoy period humor and slices of Scottish social history, his work offers both amusement and a vivid sense of place.
