Important to me right now: halting climate change; fighting the resurgence of fascism; winning Scottish independence, rejoining the EU.
Banner is a photo of my bicycle "AKA freedom machine" in my garden last summer. There are flowering plants and a red gate in the background.
The avatar is a photo of me wearing a plaid coat with the ocean in the background. Taken somewhere near Tongue, if memory serves, by my Austrian friend, Gudrun Kocher.

I am a climber, runner (with a Collie), cyclist and swimmer. I was running a small (but perfectly formed) analytics company now employee owned to mark my retirement. Commute between the Highlands and The Borders, campaign for Scottish independence, bake bread and occasionally dabble in bad art.
I winge about a lot - the environment, bad governance and stupidity but do try to provide a wee bit of evidence and highlight good news.

I rarely trust anything anyone else says about me so I doubt it’s appropriate to ask anyone to trust anything I say about me. If I’m even real. Perhaps I am the sum of my actions and written thoughts; you can read the latter here, but it’s up to you to judge whether itʼs of interest.
(But I’m likely to post about electronic musical technology, and amongst other things, more politics than I’d like, autism, disability, trans issues, and things little and large in the Hebrides, with pictures.)

Passionate but despondent about the environment and the future of humanity. Trying to see the very best in everyone but struggling to understand or accept narcissists. The product of a "strange" upbringing. Kept sane (that's debatable) by music, the natural world, but most of all by the friendship and companionship of others. Fascinated by so much that the world has to offer and increasingly aware that one lifetime isn't enough. #Photography #Psychology #Music #Idealism #Autodidact
