Callum Fairbairn spent two decades on regional newspapers in Scotland, mostly in council chambers and at budget statements, before writing about the economy, politics and the day's news for Sterling Times. He likes to read the actual documents before he reads the reaction to them. Away from the desk he walks the Pentland Hills with a flask of tea and a very old waterproof.
