Arthur Allan - Glasgow Gunmaker Arthur Allan was a respected Glasgow gunmaker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for producing finely crafted sporting shotguns for discerning Scottish sportsmen. Operating from premises in the city centre, Allan built a reputation for robust, well-balanced side-by-side shotguns, often bearing elegant engraving and fine walnut stocks. Many were sourced from leading Birmingham makers and finished to his specifications, ensuring both reliability and refinement. Today, surviving Arthur Allan shotguns are valued by collectors for their quality, craftsmanship, and connection to Glasgow's proud gunmaking heritage.
