I work as a Regional Manager for a large Scottish based retail chain but I am also a part time freelance writer. I write on many subjects including, genealogy, local interest, history, nostalgia, business, transport, travel and sport.

As well as having work published in many national newspapers and mass circulation magazines, I have also completed over 130 features for 26 different magazines: Retail and Distribution Management, Practical Family History, Destination France, Scottish Memories, Real Travel, Your Family Tree, Family History Monthly, Ancestors, DGB Life, Britain at War, Life & Work, Ships Monthly, Best of British, Readers Digest, Take a Break, Scottish Home & Country, The Great War Magazine, Forestry Journal, Family Tree Magazine, essential ARB, The Scots Magazine, Nautical Magazine, Scottish Islands Explorer, East Lothian Life, Wood-Mizer Today and Medal News

I write on a regular basis for Scottish Memories, Scottish Home & Country, Forestry Journal, essential ARB, Scottish Islands Explorer, East Lothian Life, The Great War Magazine and Ships Monthly

I have contributed to the Row Z Daily Record football fanzine, and I have written a football fans column for the Daily Record PM. My story about the 1991 Hibs cup winning side appeared on the Radio Five live 'Football Stories'.

I used my MBA dissertation on retail labour turnover to contribute to a chapter to a book on retailing. I was runner up in the Writers Bureau Writer of the Year Award in 2007.

I work to Editor commissions or by offering outline proposals to magazines. I am also happy to consider any ideas for writing and can be contacted by e-mail.
