Lively, accurate copy

tailored to your publication.

I’m Karen Messruther, a freelance writer based in the Scottish Highlands. I specialise in three areas: 

Scotland: travel, history and local interest 

From clootie wells to clootie dumplings, castles to crofting.

Wildlife and nature

Birds, beasties and living among them. 

Health and social care

I’ve worked in a variety of settings including mental health, Telecare and community care. I can provide articles for industry publications or general interest - all in good Plain English.

Check my Biography page for more information, or contact me here for examples of my work.
