“A few years ago, the Scottish film industry was a haggis-in-the-sky fantasy in the fevered imaginations of a talented handful. Now apparently over-night, it is a full-grown fact.”

The Cords' new single "When You Said Goodbye" is a lush, dreamy tearjerker that's bound to become a last-dance staple. Utterly perfect and totally timeless. What a record.

I picked up this hefty tome of Scottish films by Mark Furse which has just been released. 427 features. 6 of them are by me with another 4 produced and around 40 I worked on or helped in some capacity. Really worth picking up. Very well researched and a worthy addition to Scotland's film story
