Forty years of working for the press took him to the top of his profession as one of the most prominent and influential editors of the post-war years. Yet as he looks back over an active life and a variety of careers - journalist, playwright, poet, broadcaster, oil executive - it becomes apparent that many other influences have played their part in the shaping of the man. Born in 1908, he was brought up in working-class Glasgow, his early years regulated by the uncompromising tenets of the Scottish church and darkened by the ferocious discipline of parents determined to drive their children out of the trap of poverty. He was always a prolific writer of articles, stories, songs and scripts, but on leaving school he entered the staid world of banking. Within a few years he had abandoned this already promising career to start his own publishing venture, producing a weekly magazine for boys, and from there eventually found his way into journalism. With the coming of World War II, his newspaper work was interrupted by a six-year spell in the Civil Service, but after the war Alastair Dunnett was to become editor of the two most distinctive Scottish newspapers - the Daily Record, which he ran for ten years, and then The Scotsman, which earned many awards during his seventeen-year editorship, including the distinction of `The Best Newspaper of the Year' in 1963. When the North Sea oil boom started in the 1970s, Alastair Dunnett was asked by Roy Thomson - Lord Thomson of Fleet - to become chairman of the companies which controlled the successful Thomson oil and gas enterprises. This new adventure, shared with such colleagues as John Paul Getty and Armand Hammer, was to take him round the world. Alastair Dunnett has met most of the notable people of his day but it is his real friends that he prefers to include in these reminiscences. And he has more friends than most, among whom he places first and foremost his wife Dorothy, the well-known novelist, recalling moving memories of their many years together. Above all, this is a story of Scotland. As a boy, breaking free from the oppressive atmosphere of home to walk, camp, sail and explore the hills and islands, Alastair Dunnett began a life-long love affair with his country. His affection for the people who live and work there and a passionate interest in their triumphs and troubles, and hopes for the future, have remained with him ever since. . First Edition.
