A PROFILE Polly has lived all her life on farms and among farm animals in west and central Scotland. A freelance journalist and part-time wildlife guide, she contributes to a wide range of publications specialising in wildlife, countryside topics, farming and characters, illustrated with her photographs. She has regular columns and features in several magazines.
WRITER
For 12 years she worked for "Country Artists" as editor, and main contributor to their company magazine and advertising book. Her first book, "Dancing with Ospreys", a limited edition short story, was illustrated by Keith Brockie and was written after several years of monitoring a pair of ospreys in Perthshire. Always having been involved with farming and having a passion for native farm livestock, and a particular interest in sheep, she produced a second book, "RURAL PORTRAITS - Scotland's Native Farm Animals, Characters & Landscapes", also illustrated by Keith Brockie. She hopes that this book will raise awareness to the importance of the survival of native breeds, and of course those involved with them. See the next page for more on Rural Portraits. PHOTOGRAPHER
Polly is an accomplished photographer, and specialises in children's and animal's portraiture as well as many other subjects. Sessions in your own home or garden can be arranged; email or phone for a quotation. She has built up an extensive slide library covering a wide range of subjects including: natural history; landscape; farm animals; domestic pets, from dogs to ferrets, guinea pigs to pygmy goats. Her work regularly features on cards and calendars. Prices for use of her photographs, supplied at high resolution on CD, available on request. See the Photos page for samples. Polly's third book featuring her countryside photography: "Further Afield", was published by Langford Press in April 2004. See the page Further Afield for details. PUBLIC RELATIONS Polly is available to undertake PR work, from setting up new displays to writing publicity material, brochures or advertisments, and contacting press and media. Together with Keith Brockie she set up the visual displays inside the Piperdam Osprey Centre near Dundee, which also features much about Tayside's wildlife. |
