After more than twenty-five years as a successful freelance journalist, I have now left journalism to spend more time on book-writing.
FORTHCOMING (Publication March 1st 2025)
The author takes a
walk south from Edinburgh through the Scottish borders to the Cheviots and
the English border… and then carries on walking to North Yorkshire and the
river Swale. The journey is one of discovery into the distinctive landscapes
of the border lands, and the book draws on themes as varied as history, folk
tradition, land usage and land ownership to understand how, particularly as
a consequence of climate change, these landscapes are being radically
changed once again.
My latest book, These Houses are
Ours: Co-operative and Community-led Housing Alternatives, 1870-1919,
was published in early 2023. Details here.
