I had a whole Scottish existence until we moved to London when I was four.
The first thing I wanted to do, as a boy, was to be a skier, because I had seen film footage of somebody skiing.
I was fantastically well versed by the time I left school. I had a teacher who put A Clockwork Orange my way, and Catcher in the Rye.
Great wine is always enhanced by great food.
My grandfather, Harry Ferguson, was a butcher in Hill of Beath; so even though my grandparents lived in some poverty, we got loads of beef. My grandmother, Meg, was a fine Scottish cook who did slow cooking.
