Walking, woods and wildness
My work features outdoor activities, travel and nature. I aim to help others connect with the natural world and appreciate its wonders.
My features appear in magazines, newspapers and online. I focus on Scotland, but also cover travel to other places in the UK and Europe.
I am the author of several walks guidebooks and update existing titles. My first narrative non-fiction book has the working title In the Wood of Dreams.
I shoot images to illustrate my magazine features and guidebooks, and also sell photos for use independent of my writing.
I write an occasional blog, often about places and wildlife that interest me, but which haven’t found space in magazine articles and books.
