James Wellwood Johnston
James Wellwood Johnston (1900–1958)[1] was a Unionist Member of Parliament (MP) for Clackmannan and Eastern Stirlingshire.
This was normally a Labour seat which he did fairly well to win from the sitting MP, Lauchlin MacNeill Weir, in the National Government landslide of 1931. However Weir narrowly won it back in 1935.
