McLellan was born in 1914 at Truro, Nova Scotia.[2] He was educated at Mount Allison University and Dalhousie Law School.[2] He married Helen Gladys Stuart in 1941.[2] McLellan first attempted to enter provincial politics in the 1941 election, but was defeated.[3] He ran again in 1945, and was elected in the dual-member Colchester riding with Liberal Gordon Purdy.[4] In the 1949 election, McLellan was defeated by Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield and George Isaac Smith.[5] McLellan ran as a Liberal candidate in the 1958 federal election, but was defeated by Progressive Conservative Cyril Kennedy in Colchester—Hants.[6] On January 5, 1966, McLellan was appointed a County Court judge, and served in the position until September 30, 1981.[2] McLellan died on November 23, 1988.[7]
