Hi Paul - according to Reed's Place Names of New Zealand it is named after William Innes Taylor who brought the land in West Tamaki in 1844. He named his farm 'Glen Innes'. Regards, Jamie Mackay

Glen Innes wasn't named after a Scottish bloke called Glenn, but the fact that geographically it is a Glen, perhaps reminiscent of somewhere in Scotland, although I can't see it.
