Gillian's hand painted display is on display in The Forge at Blue Sky Mobility showroom, a family run business set up in 2013 that specialises in sleep and walking aids as well as wheelchairs and scooters.
Store owner Sean Caulfield said: "The people of the East End have been so supportive of our business and our new premises was an opportunity to toast this amazing part of Scotland. We'd welcome anyone who wanted to pop in to the showroom for a selfie with Gillian's incredible artwork."
People are welcome to view the mural at Blue Sky Mobility, The Forge, Gallowgate, Parkhead, from Friday, June 10.
