There’s just two things you need to know about me – I’m from Auchtermuchty in Fife, and I once won £15,000 on ITV gameshow The Chase.
Outside of those headlines, there’s not much to tell. I write health-focussed features for the Press and Journal alongside a handful of food and drink articles, just to keep things balanced.
I live in Aberdeen but cover the whole of the north and north-east of the country, so if you have a story to share then get in touch. I love hearing from people, and not only if they are from Auchtermuchty or have been on a TV game show.
You can reach me at andy.morton@ajl.co.uk or on 01224 343141. I'm on X/Twitter at @Ajmmort.
