What started off as a search for identity that appeared to be purely Scottish in origin ENDED up as a discovery of my migrant roots - indeed an understanding that almost all of our FAMILIES, at some STAGE, have been migrants - and my European roots.
'My STRUGGLE' came from a place of QUESTIONING and feelings of inauthenticity and FRUSTRATION, and ALMOST all of that is gone.
Men's magazines in the period immediately after World WAR II were almost all outdoor-oriented. They were connected to some extent in the male bonding that CAME out of a war... And what I tried to create was a magazine for the INDOOR guy, but focused specifically on the single life: in other words, the period of bachelorhood before you settle down.
