Gallacher book tribute is a real honour for Brian
Paisley Daily Express
|August 12, 2025
Leading figure Brian Hannan of Abbey Books has paid tribute to the late Paisley MP Willie Gallacher
A Paisley bookshop has honoured the passing of one of Paisley’s most famous MPs by creating a display.
Abbey Books, in Wellmeadow Street, marked the 60th anniversary of the death of Willie Gallacher by designing a window display dedicated to the Buddie.
Taking up room in the shop, the display on Thursday not only contained copies of the politician’s own books but a whole raft of left-wing reads including works by Lenin and Stalin.
Gallacher was believed to be the first Paisley author to be published by Penguin - a multinational publishing company - with a book titled 'The Case for Communism, published in 1949.
