John Marchant, from the Jamie Reid Archive, explained that the artist would be coming up to Scotland regularly as a child, and that carried on in to adulthood.<\/p>\n
“He had been at art college with a chap called Malcolm McLaren – who later became the Sex Pistols’ manager,” he said.<\/p>\n
“By 1975, he was getting tired of the city and started going up to Lewis.<\/p>\n
