It is security that I crave and money provides security. What is that old line about money? "Some is good, more is better and too much is just right."

My wife has always supported me in my career, even when there were times when it was more sensible to get a job. It has been her confidence in me that has helped enormously.

I delivered leaflets for my dad and was paid £5 per thousand, which was slave labour.

I want to look beyond the legends, to find the real story of Scotland. And it's every bit as thrilling.

It took me a while to get established - success didn't happen overnight.
