Malcolm Archibald

Malcolm Archibald is a historical mystery, fantasy and historical fiction author from Edinburgh the very romantic Scottish capital. His father and other male relatives were imbued into the military tradition and his Jacobite grandmother was a collector of books and had her own business. His grandfather was a man from Arran, the legend crammed mystical island he always loved to visit. With such diverse emotional and geographical influences, it is not surprising that he became an author. Moreover, his hometown is crammed full of legends and stories of murders and ghosts. He spent a lot of his free time as a child exploring hidden alley ways and dark roads when he should have been in class. In Arran, he walked the mist covered hills where the spirits of ancient warriors, smugglers, heroes and druids mixed with the calls of eagles and the great herds of deer. His later work would enable him to gain an even more intimate knowledge of the country. He worked as a postman and then spent some time in finance, travel, retail and other jobs that he believes are best forgotten. He currently lives with his wife in Inverness from where he writes his novels.
