I live in the hills above Edinburgh. I'm a father, husband, friend, and a dog-owner. After studying history I went to work in marketing financial services. I've also worked in tax compliance and in politics. I blog about politics, the world around me, in fact all sorts of random stuff I observe. The views here are my own. Whose else would they be?
