Mark Douglas-Home's headshot

I had a long career in journalism, finally as editor of The Herald, before becoming an author. I have extensive experience of journalistic commissioning and editing as well, now, of writing books (a ghosted autobiography of a leading politician and four crime mysteries).

I have performed at numerous book events around Scotland, including festivals as well as library events.
