DESCRIPTION:
great and interesting read. Thom Robert It helps you understand the author's upbringing and having heard him give a speech I hear his voice when I read his wonderfully penned detail of his life and many people he has met. If you are from central Scotland it is must to read. If not, try it anyway. It is very enjoyable and easy to read.
Irvine Smith's personal recollections are both frank and entertaining, charting the highs and lows of a remarkable life and career lived to the full.

Legendary Sheriff Irvine Smith QC is one of the most formidable criminal lawyers of his generation. He later became a Sheriff, quickly building a reputation as a no-nonsense judge with a sharp intellect and a dry and ready wit. He also defended five capital murder trials before the abolition of the death penalty and knew the full responsibility of trying to keep defendants from the gallows. He was also one of the finest after-dinner speakers of his generation, especially on the theme of St Andrew and Burns. Irvine Smith will be available for signings and events.. He presided over the test case in the Ibrox Disaster. This title features extensive PR and marketing campaign. This talent took him to many venues across the world
