Gollan was born in Bowral, New South Wales to his mother Nellie and his father Colin Gollan. As a child, he attended Sydney Boys High School where he participated in rugby and was editor of the school's magazine. He was best known for his work as a political reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald. Gollan worked for the Herald from 1923 until his death in 1961.
In 1940, Gollan was dispatched to Canberra to cover the federal parliament. In 1944, he had become one of the most vocal critics of how John Curtin was handling the war. He was eventually recalled to Sydney in 1946 where he performed administrative duties as a sort of punishment for his outspoken criticism of Arthur Fadden's replacement.
