The Forge Shopping Centre grants wish of Ayr-born artist, 95, to display work before he dies

An Ayr-born 95-year-old self-taught artist has been granted a poignant wish by a Scots shopping centre - for people to see his work before he dies.

The work of Thomas McGoran, born in Ayr in 1927, is on display at The Forge Shopping Centre, in Glasgow, in a pop-up gallery which is raising money for children’s charity, With Kids.

Thomas’ colourful work is all based on growing up in Glasgow in the 1930s, bringing to life everyday scenes like getting groceries and collecting coal to heap on the fire.
