Ian Colquhoun
18 books5 followersIan Colquhoun is an author from Livingston and now based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
He has been severely disabled since losing his legs in an unprovoked assault and arson attack whilst living in Ireland in 2002. After years of surgery and painful rehabilitation, Ian amazed everyone by not only learning to walk again with prosthetic legs, but by also utilising a talent for writing that he had hitherto tried to hide, his first seven books being published between 2007 and 2013, with many more to follow.
Ian also acts now, and has been on many TV shows and films, both as an actor and as an ‘extra’, as well as appearing as himself on numerous occasions. He also has vast experience as a casualty simulation advisor to the emergency services, often doing dangerous stunts and showing people how to ‘handle’ amputees.
His primary field of expertise in writing is military history and true life stories/biographies. His first book ‘Burnt’ was featured on TV’s ‘Richard and Judy’ show and was a highly placed nominee for ‘Book of the Year’ on Amazon in 2008.
Ian studied history at the University of Edinburgh, but prior to that was a forklift truck driver until he lost his legs.

I absolutely loved this book. Even though it’s set when I was only a toddler and I was never part of the whole drugs-scene, I still found it really relatable in terms of alcohol and clubbing. The characters feel real, the humour is brilliant, and the story captures that mix of chaos and heart that makes you care about what happens next.
I recognised so many of the places mentioned, which made it nostalgic. The music references throughout are spot-on and give the book a great energy, like there’s a soundtrack running under every scene.
The “wood fairy” adds a totally unexpected twist - funny, strange, and just the right amount of surreal. Underneath all the wild moments and comedy, there’s a genuine story about friendship, choices, and growing up too fast.
It’s one of those rare books that makes you laugh out loud but also leaves you thinking after you’ve finished. A brilliant, funny, and surprisingly touching read. Highly recommend!
