About Me

I wont accept anybody as a "freind" here , unless they tell me who they are.Ive Had a whole load of arseholes lately and cant be arsed wi it anymore.


I live in the Highlands of Scotland. My main interests are, Celtic/Pictish legends.I have an active interest in my Cultural heritage (which is Scotland), and have devoted most of my adult life to the Preservation ,Promotion and Perpetuation of our rich Cultural Heritage.
I started my adult life as a Coal miner in the "Lothian Coalfields".While I was doin that I went to College to study Geology, mining Technology , Legislation, sub-terranean gas testing, and other stuff.I had to leave the mines due to an accident, which was quite timely coz Mrs Thatcher shafted us anyway.
My other passion is Trees and nature,I went to College and got a Diploma in "Arboriculture", I have a small tree nursery.I love my Garden.I rescue trees and shrubs from developments, take them home,bring them on , then put them in safe places (up the hills etc) to grow on.My plan is to re-populate the Highlands with indigenous species.In the summer I take out guided tours around the Highlands,and all over Scotland (Time Permitting), Im busy with the band most of the time. I have worked in the TV/Film industry for several years,in the capacity of a Close Combat Stunt performer/co-ordinator (Battle scenes).
I love Painting and drawing.I also make Swords and Daggers.My other areas of interest are Pubs,and Guinness,hangin out wi freinds and Hillwalking/climbing.
I like to help people along, and have a kind and giving nature.But I feel sometimes people can mistake Kindness for weakness.......I dont suffer fools AT ALL,......and I dont like ignorance,or selfishness......My main dislikes are Loud and aggressive people, I find them Vexatious.
All in all I'd say (if asked) that Im REAL.
