About | Scott Liddell

My name is Scott McFarlane Liddell. ( why McFarlane? read this ).

By some freak I was born in Manchester but have lived in either or Edinburgh or Glasgow since I was wee. I live in Edinburgh with my wife and two dogs.

Back working in the centre of Edinburgh which is an absolute delight. Available for coffees.

Currently doing lots of writing and photography. Two new books are on the way, one of each. The writing bit has won an award, more on that later…

I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

I once sold George Takei 3 postcards.

I have written code in over 20 different programming languages. Some of it even worked.

I once maxed out the score on the scoreboard on the Monaco GP arcade game.

I have eaten a cheese toastie in the board room of the largest private company in India. It was nice.

I own a ZX81, a ZX80 and an Oric 1.

I’m a typophile. I have a favourite font.

You may have arrived here looking for the Liddell and Scott Greek-English lexicon.

As you may have noticed, I am not said book. You can find more info and links to various resources about the lexicon here.

I am a Level 8 Google Local Guide. That mainly involves, for me, taking pictures of my dinner.

My contributions on Google have been viewed over 76 million times. Which says a lot more about how busy Google is rather than how good the pictures of my dinner are.
