Fiona Houston Writer, journalist, commentator

Welcome,

I started my career as a journalist at the New York Times, and also worked as the Washington Corrrespondent for The Scotsman. I write about current affairs for various newspapers and magazines, and am currently working on two books. I am also closely involved in the local community, and in national politics & policy advocacy.

I"ve recently published a book along with my co-author, Xa Milne, called "Seaweed and Eat it - a family foraging and cooking adventure".

At the same time, we have written a column called "forage rangers" for the Daily Telegraph (Weekend section), cataloguing our escapades foraging and making our foraged foods into delicious recipes.

We have also worked with BBC Scotland's Landward program, presented by Nick Nairn, on a series of features on foraging with your family, and featured on STV's Five Thirty Show, "Eating for Scotland" segment with Stephen Jardine. 'Seaweed and Eat it" is published by Random House - Virgin Books and is available online and in Waterstones, Borders and all good bookstores.

For more on our book and column, and our foraging workshops at various locations around Scotland visit www.foragerangers.com .
