Bio

Now in my 11th year with the Herald and Times group, having cut my journalistic teeth in the freelance agency world, a long-standing interest in Glasgow municipal matters now sees me with the local government beat. I'm likely to generate stories on issues of alcohol, faith, football, and general west of Scotland life.

  • Famine memorial study approved

    A full meeting of the council approved a plan to establish a working group to examine the feasibility of a memorial to those who died as a result of the famine and migrated to escape starvation.

    The working group will decide on the most appropriate memorial and setting.

    The Herald understands a finalised plan should be ready within six months, with a finalised project a year after that.

  • Campaigners to fight city square statue removal plan

    All 12 statues, some almost 200 years old, will be taken from Glasgow's George Square in the coming months as part of a £15 million plan to revamp the area, with the first phase completed in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

    Once the statues are restored it is unclear if they will be returned to their original location, with plans mooted to move them to other parts of the city.
