comment, 4 September 2025

Hello. This is an archive of my personal website, including stories I wrote and published up to 2018. It replaces my previous website provided by Typepad, which shut down in September 2025.

Apart from my freedom of information log, it is not being updated. Apologies for any broken links, mistakes or other glitches – and the adverts. Stories I have written since 2018 have all been published on The Ferret, an investigative journalism co-operative which I helped found in 2015.

The Ferret is a much-needed bid to find a sustainable future for investigative journalism, which is suffering with the decline of newspapers. If you think, as I do, that Scotland needs a non-aligned, not-for-profit group of journalists dedicated to holding power to account, please consider subscribing.
