Note: Jack Hoggan was born in 1951. A miner's son, he grew up in the village of Methilhill and the towns of Leven and Kirkcaldy on the east coast of Scotland. The young Jack Hoggan liked to draw, mainly sketches of goal mouth incidents and birds nests. Leaving school aged 15, he began training as a mining engineer. There was no art school training or scholarships for the budding artist, as he moved around jobs. All Jack's early work was signed in his name (Hoggan) or "JH" until he decided to adopt the name of his maternal grandfather "Vettriano".
