By day I am the Librarian at Edinburgh's Signet Library; by night I am probably best known for my website on the history and psychology of sport, www.morethanmindgames.com. I specialize in psychology; social, media, sports history and the fine arts 1860-1940; Scottish culture and current affairs, and modern politics. Publications and broadcasters I have worked with include: BBC Radio; Sky Television; Channel 4; The Times; and Scotland on Sunday. Current projects include a book tracing the role of association football in the amelioration of British urban life between 1860 and World War II. I also contribute to British culture weblog The Dabbler. As a volunteer I contribute to fundraising for research into cancers of the brain by building websites. I also guide for the National Trust For Scotland. I maintain a small stable of websites including history online hub The Early Modern Intelligencer.
