Robert Stone was just 15 when he ran away from home with only £30 in his pocket. Over the next 25 years he amassed a multi-million pound fortune through various entrepreneurial ventures, mostly on the wrong side of the law.
But when the law caught up with him, he lost everything. Now the Aberdeenshire dad of two has penned his incredible life story in a book as a lasting tribute to his children and his late wife, Linda.
“I spent a good deal of my life operating on the wrong side of legality and even though I left that life behind more than 20 years ago, my past still haunts me and my family,” says Robert, who first came to Aberdeen in 1973 as a pioneer saturation diver. “By sharing my story I may help others from following in similar footsteps.”
