William McLaren was a Scottish painter, illustrator and decorative artist. From humble beginnings in the 1920s in Cardenden, a mining town in Fife, McLaren went on to produce decorative painting in the rooms of some of the finest houses in the UK. He was a prolific illustrator and designed dust jackets for over 150 books. His illustrations also appeared regularly in the 1950s and 1960s in the Radio Times.
We traced hundreds of his works and gathered the testimony of many of those who knew him. McLaren died in 1987, aged 64, leaving behind a range of work that will surprise and delight many people.
