Dyke White

He was born in Garlieston, Wigtownshire, the youngest of the seven children of William McClure and Catherine, née Puckett, and was always known by the family as Gordon.

Gordon’s father was originally a shopkeeper in Garlieston, but the family moved to Glasgow some time between 1891 and 1901.

It was called “The Intruder”, and was a painting of a lady bathing in the bulrushes with someone peeping in at her.

Gordon was married to Hilda (née Butler), and they had three children – Ramsey, Robin and Rachel.

After his untimely death, a Memorial Exhibition of his cartoons was held by the Glasgow Art Club.
