Extra information:

First Scottish journalist to interview Prince William (during his studies in St Andrews).

Others interviewed include Sir Bob Geldof, Dame Judy Dench, David Dimbleby (much taller and slimmer than he looks on screen) Alex Salmond and Nobel Laureate Sir Tim Hunt. Funniest interviewee, Craig Hill. 

Can also say: "I was there," when Bob Dylan got his Honorary Degree at St Andrews University, Tiger Woods won the Millennium Open and Golf legend Jack Nicklaus retired at the 2005 Open, both in St Andrews. 

In addition to web publishing (and the odd Tweet!) now also taking PR and copywriting commissions.
