For Jo, James and Jack with all my love.
Id like to thank the editor and publishers of Scotland On Sunday for allowing the publication of these stories in this book. They were written under the guidance of Kenny Farquharson and Fiona Leith, and I am indebted to them for advice, encouragement and support. Thanks, too, to my colleagues on the paper writers, photographers and editors for their inspiring comradeship. I am also grateful to Robert Davidson of Sandstone Press for his belief in this book. Finally, a word of thanks to the many wonderful people who appear in these pages, without whom Scotland, and my writing, would be much poorer.

lust n&v desire, ardour, compulsive need; a sensation experienced often on said street, esp on a Friday night.
THERE are more things in Irvine and Perth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. That, anyway, has long been my philosophy when writing about this country for the newspapers. Scotland and its people are endlessly surprising, funny, moving, maddening, wise, weird, industrious and daft. When you go out on a story you never know quite what you are going to see and hear. The one certainty is that it will be worth paying attention. For me, that means carrying a pen and notebook.
In five years of writing for Scotland On Sunday, I have carried these everywhere: to villages and cities, islands and forests; on to canal barges and into karaoke bars, monasteries and morgues; I have written down the words of drag queens and drug addicts, sheep farmers and street preachers, monks, drunks and dudes smoking skunk. In doing so, I have developed what can best be described as an addiction to Scotland, or more specifically an addiction to making journeys within it a need, an urge; a daunderlust.
These articles represent the spoils of that urge. We live in a culture completely in thrall to the idea of celebrity. For me, though, the great characters of these pages Tommy Farmfoods, Jesus George, Val Morrison and Woijech the Fly to name just four are far more enthralling than most famous people; some, indeed, are superstars within their own milieu. To call them ordinary people would be plain wrong, but it is true that their lives are largely unsung, even Luigi Corvi, the 25 stone chip shop owner who performs operatic arias while serving fish suppers at Glasgow Cross. This has been one of the great delights of my work to seek out these extraordinary folk and bring them to the attention of the reading public.
