John Aberdein
John Aberdein was born and educated in Aberdeen and now lives in Hoy. He worked fishing herring and scallops before teaching English and outdoor education, becoming the first person to kayak round mainland Scotland. Active in politics – he was a member of the Kirkland Five who campaigned for more democratic schools and a main organiser of Labour’s move to ditch nuclear power in 1985 and ‘86 – John stood as a Labour candidate in the 1987 and 1992 general elections for the constituency of Orkney and Shetland. John’s debut novel Amande’s Bed won the Saltire First Book of the Year Award in 2005 and he was a runner-up in the inaugural Scotsman Orange Short Story Competition. His long-awaited second novel, Strip the Willow, has been shortlisted for the 2010 Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust Award, winning the Fiction category.
