AUTHORS

John Burns
John Burns has published a number of articles about Bob Dylan and is the author of A Celebration of the Light: Zen in the Novels of Neil Gunn (Canongate, Edinburgh, 1988).

Haig Gordon
Haig Gordon was brought up in Kirkcudbright and went to school both there and in Manchester. After wasting three years at the University of Oxford, he was trained as a journalist by the BBC in London but escaped to Glasgow where he presented radio’s Good Morning Scotland. He later defected to ITV and became a familiar face as frontman for the nightly news programme Scotland Today. His subsequent broadcasting career went from bad to worse and he now prefers to write books on Galloway, of which The Kirkcudbrightshire Companion is his third and, according to rumours, by no means his last. Depending on how he’s feeling, he lives in either Kirkcudbright or London.

Alastair Scott
Alastair Scott has published five books based on his travels in 65 countries on 6 continents as well as a novel and the well-known Top Ten Scotland guide book.
