Brian Hennigan

Brian Hennigan was born and raised in Scotland where he studied at St Andrews and Stirling Universities. He has had a varied commercial career including the automotive, textiles and spirits industries. His work has taken him all over the world and his writing continues to do so, including teaching Shakespeare in Japan and marketing Pringle clothing.

His first book, Patrick Robertson – A Tale of Adventure, was picked off the Jonathan Cape unsolicited manuscript slush pile and rightly so. Patrick Robertson has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and Radio Scotland and is currently under development as a film, with Film Council funding. It was also Ian Rankin’s Book of the Year in The Sunday Telegraph when it was published in 2000.

Brian then wrote a collection of stories, Brian Hennigan’s Urban Scottish Myths, which was published by Black and White Publishing in 2002; and his latest book, The Scheme of Things, was published in 2005 by Polygon.
