Career
GEORGE BOGLE, of Daldowie, was a Virginia merchant, a West India trader, and a most influential and respected citizen of Glasgow. He was an early partner in the Glasgow Tan Work, and in the Eastern Sugarhouse. He also assisted with other influential merchants to establish the Cudbear Work, managed by George Macintosh.

Resident
The estate of Daldowie, which was acquired by the family of Bogles, had for nearly 200 years been in the possession of the Stewarts of Minto, an old Glasgow family, whose town residence was the "Duke's Lodgings," at the head of the Drygate, the site of which is now enclosed in the Northern Prison. The Mintos were ruined by the Darien scheme. Mr. Bogle's town house stood in the north-east end of the narrow wynd, known afterwards as Police Lane, which was then a cul de sac, closed at the end by a "heckler's shop." The house had a single outside stair fronting the present entry to the Bazaar. John Stirling, who lived next house to the Bogies, married Miss Bogle out of this house. Mr. Bogle died in 1784. [12]

He was a Merchant and a Burgess and Guild Brother (30 January 1752 Glasgow Burgesses, 1751-1846, p. 4)

It is likely that he inherited a part share in Robert Bogle & Co which was founded by his father. His brother Archibald took a major role in developing the company and passed it on to his children

Further details of the Bogle family, estate and business papers are held in the Glasgow City Archives (Catalogue reference: NRA 35903 )
