I run a number of websites, regularly attracting 10,000-15,000 visits per month between them. My websites have been featured in several media outlets. See the highlights section of my blog for more details.

I have also spoken on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Scotland a number of times on a variety of topics including technology, politics and music. See the media appearances section of my blog for more details.

doctorvee

The original incarnation of this website was as a personal blog, which was set up in 2002. Since then, it has evolved over time to become a topical website which showcases my writing, primarily on politics, current affairs and technology.

This website has been featured a number of times in the media. See the Highlights section for full details.

vee8

This is a website dedicated to motorsport, particularly Formula 1. I spun if off from doctorvee in 2008 having spotted that my motorsport articles attracted a distinct audience to my other writing.

Scottish Roundup

I run this website which highlights the best of Scottish blogging and citizen journalism. I originally set it up in 2006 with a primary (but not exclusive) focus on politics. A weekly roundup is published every Sunday. This website is run with the help of a variety of Scottish bloggers.

Other websites

In addition, I regularly contribute to other blogs and podcasts.

Testimonials

Fresh insight... I’m grateful to one of my readers, doctorvee, for posting a very interesting comment here on the JA on F1 site. He highlights an interview which McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh gave to the BBC at the end of the Australian Grand Prix... The significance of this is that the FIA WMSC will seek to analyse the degree to which others in the team were involved.

James Allen

Excellent blog ...covers all kinds of topics in an engaging and entertaining way.

Shane Richmond, The Telegraph

Always insightful, always thorough, his blog posts read like short Masters essays rather than quickly rustled up blog posts... He takes a topic and then nurtures and lovingly caresses it until it's breathlessly, delightedly begging for mercy.

Jeff Breslin, SNP Tactical Voting

Duncan's relaxed style belies the rigour and subtlety which underpin each piece.

Scottish Unionist

Not for the first time, I think that a job offer for this man in motorsport journalism is long overdue. His knowledge, going back to days before he was born, is awesome.

Caron Lindsay

vee8 has become a must-read... a format that is ideal as an overview of the sport, including his own thoughts, guest articles, live blogging and the outstanding daily pick of articles from F1 sites and blogs.

Clive Allen, F1 Insight
