Welcome to the profile of Gordon Craigie, an author, feature writer, and journalist who is not at all comfortable referring to himself in the third person! So that’s enough of that then…
I produce entertaining, informative, humorous and/or provocative writing around a range of themes, including:
• Current affairs
• Education
• Football
• Health & Fitness
• Italy
• Music
• Popular media
• Profiles
• Scottish culture, history and politics
• Sport
• Technology
• Travel
• Vegetarian/Vegan Lifestyle
Although this is an extensive list, I would not consider it exhaustive! You can read more about this stuff over at www.gordoncraigie.scot where you can also see a selection of my published features.
In any context it doesn’t take much to provoke either my love of the quirky or outright distaste for any form of injustice, and I love to reflect both in my writing. However, and this is a BIG “however”… when required, I instantly metamorphose into serious, professional, academic mode with proper research and everything — honest!
My background lies in teaching, lecturing, educational project management and football (playing & coaching), and I still maintain my “other life” as an Education & Technology Consultant — The McIntosh Partnership (www.tmp.scot).
To date, I have had three books published, which you can read all about at www.gordoncraigie.scot/books. The first volume in the How Did I Get Here? trilogy, Rebel Without A Clue!, was released in November 2020, followed by the second, Raging Against the Machine!, in April 2022, and third, Love Is the Answer!, in February 2026. There’s every possibility – (indeed probability!) – that this trilogy will expand in the near future and become that rarest of beasts, a four-part trilogy!
I’m always open to offers from newspapers, magazines and websites, to continue building on the success of what was my first by-lined column in The Courier (way back in 2014!), regular feature articles in The Costco Connection and The Local Italy, and my role as Lead Columnist and Deputy Editor with the award-winning iScot Magazine.
All of this alongside steering The McIntosh Partnership through its 22nd year and… helping my wife, partner and soulmate to further develop her thriving Copyediting & Proofreading business (www.aveditorial.scot).
Better get on with it then!
