The warm, funny memoir of Gregor Fisher, the much loved Scottish
actor best known for Rab C. Nesbitt, told as he uncovers his
dramatic family history. Growing up in the Glasgow suburbs, Gregor
was 14 when he asked where he was christened and was told that he
was adopted. But it wasn't quite that simple. And so began an
unfolding of truths, half-truths and polite cover-ups from his
various families. In 2014 Gregor approached Times columnist Melanie
Reid to help him tell his story. Together they travelled through
the mining villages of central Scotland to uncover the mystery of
his birth and early life. What emerged was a story of secrets,
deception, tragic accidents and early death, coldness and rejection
from the very people who should have cherished him most, but a
welcome from the most unexpected of quarters. From the squalor of
industrial Coatbridge after WW1 to his own 1950s Glasgow childhood,
via a love letter found in the wallet of a dead man and meeting his
sister outside lost luggage at Glasgow Central, Gregor shares his
family story with warmth and blunt Scottish humour.
