Author Biography
Dr. Ian D. Green, Hon. Doc. RSAMD was born in Forres, Morayshire in 1934, the son of a Highland piper and head gardener. After moving to Edinburgh as a child, Green had a varied and interesting career. He started off working as an apprentice gardener under his father; he was then called up for army service at the age of eighteen. Upon leaving the army Green entered the police service where he served for 30 years. Throughout his career there he was involved in the Scottish folk music scene and his passion inspired him to establish his own music label, Greentrax. This is now Scotland's most successful folk music label. Green was recently given an honorary degree for his work on behalf of Scottish traditional music.
