McGonagall exhibition
A unique exhibition of paintings dedicated to the life and work of Dundee’s famous bad poet, William McGonagall, has been officially opened at Dundee Central Library. The paintings, entitled The Comic Legend of William McGonagall, are on show in the library’s Wighton Heritage Centre and were created by Edinburgh artist and teacher Charles Nasmyth.
Each painting represents one of the many stories about the man who penned The Tay Bridge Disaster and was widely hailed as the writer of the worst poetry in the English language.
