A Glasgow Memoir: Tommy McGoran

A Glasgow Memoir is a beautifully produced hardback art book showcasing McGoran’s heartfelt tributes to Glasgow’s working-class past. His richly detailed scenes and human stories reflect a city filled with warmth, resilience, and character—told through the eyes of someone who lived it.

This long-overdue collection is a must-have for admirers of Glasgow, lovers of social history, and collectors of contemporary Scottish art.

Tommy McGoran has an eye for detail and a memory bank full of the ‘dear happy ghosts’ of a vanished Glasgow—a city of cinemas, teeming tenements, trams, corner boys, and backcourt games. His evocative paintings allow us to time travel: step inside, vanish through the looking glass, and revel in the reimagined Glasgow of his pre-war childhood. You’ll not come back unchanged.
