I’m Andy Dawson.

I’m a photographer and writer and I live in Inverness, Northern Scotland.

Bill Dawson was my Dad.  He was a journalist all his life, having started reporting at the age of 16.  He wrote several books, one of which is being published this year.  He also wrote a book of anecdotes.  Those are the stories in this blog.  

​

They talk about his experiences as a reporter, motor cycle racer and newspaper management entrepreneur.  They are all funny and they all show his irrepressibly positive personality.  All of the stories show a life gone by and many show an insight to personal problems.

 Please read these stories and let me know what you think about them.  

In these stories, Dad refers to himself as ‘My friend Harry’.  This is a writer's conceit, which allows him to refer to himself in the 3rd person. He explains why he calls himself Harry in the Introduction – so read that first!
