Conference Biography - Craig Anderson BBC Scotland


Brought up in Perth, Craig went to Aberdeen University where he studied Law and Scottish History.  After graduating he got his first start in journalism with a news agency based in Brussels, where he worked for four years, latterly as the Herald’s European Correspondent. Returning to Scotland to work for what was then BBC Radio Highland, he became senior producer responsible for the station’s English language output. This was followed by several years as a freelance broadcaster and journalist, setting up his own production company, before re-joining the BBC as their Inverness-based television correspondent. 

During his career he has contributed to numerous broadcasting outlets and newspapers, making films for Channel Four, producing documentaries for the BBC World Service, writing for papers as diverse as the Financial Times, the Economist and the Sun and even coming up with a motoring column for the Inverness Courier.  Married with three children and living on the Black Isle, Craig is a fluent French speaker, former Scottish TV Journalist of the Year and a trained video journalist capable of filming and editing his own reports. Craig’s interests include cars, travel and music - describing himself as a practising guitarist.
