My book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is out in just three weeks.

I really believe in this book. It’s honest about important things, quietly subversive, funny, easy to read, and I’ve poured everything into writing it and getting it into the world as far as I can.

If you can, I’d love your help. A share, a preorder, a message to someone who might love it, it all makes a difference.

Info and links below.

This will be my first time speaking publicly about the book.

Come see me navigate a lot of nerves, speaking frankly on difficult subjects, and the appropriate amount of stone puns to make in an hour.

Perfect evening ride. That time of year when the sun hardly sets.

A beautiful place with beautiful views over the Sound of Sleat towards the mainland: Aird of Sleat can be found near the southern tip of the Isle of Skye. Mallaig and the mountains of Knoydart can be seen in the background. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/airdofsleat/index.html

Donald Trump is visiting a couple of his golf course in Scotland in a 'semi-private' visit later this summer....

This will be in addition to any second state visit that is organised.

My guess is many people in Scotland might want to voice their (shall we say) displeasure at him rocking up in Scotland.....

And yes, you can expect the security costs to be astronomical!

Driving from Inverness to Dunbar today, avoiding the A roads as much as possible and sticking as close as possible to the coast. We may even be lucky enough to get an Arbroath Smokie.
