I live in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland near the famous Loch Ness home of "Nessie". There is no truth in the rumour that it is my mother in law swimming in the Loch that the tourists are seeing!

I am 41 years old married to Shirley with two sons Stuart aged 18 and Craig aged 16. We have two Border Terrier dogs, both females.

I am a Prison Officer in Inverness Prison. I have worked there for 11 years. Before that I was in the Royal Marines for 9 years based in Arbroath.
