My journalistic work focuses mainly on Scotland, it's history and culture. However, I am a versatile writer and will take on just about any job. My articles have appeared in various different British and Dutch magazines, amongst them Scotland Magazine, Scottish Memories, The Scots Magazine, Scotland Outdoors, Whisky Passion, So British & Irish!, Ajuus! and Tring. A selection of my stories can be viewed below.

I can suggest articles suitable for your publication and can of course also deliver specific article requests you might have. Photographs can also be provided.
