Ian Colquhoun is an author and actor originally from Livingston but who now resides in Edinburgh. This book is his fourth release to date, his first being his autobiography ‘ Burnt: Surviving against all odds- One man’s inspiring story of his survival after losing his legs’ which was released on Mirage publishing in 2007. Ian lost his legs following a vicious unprovoked assault and arson attack whilst he was living in the Irish republic in 2002, an attack that saw him receive no compensation whatsoever. Prior to losing his legs he worked as a lowly warehouse operative. He has appeared as himself on TV’s ‘Men in white’ in 2006 and on ‘Richard and Judy’ in August 2007, as well as starring in ‘Ocean of fear’, a film about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis during World War Two (2007). Ian has also appeared in SMG’s long running police drama ‘Taggart’. A keen historian, Ian’s particular areas of expertise are the Jacobite wars in Scotland and Ireland and the conflicts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
