About The North Briton

The North Briton is a response to a number of stimuli: The failure of attempted collaborations between people at once hyperproductive and useless. The increasing breadth of content on the blogosphere. The mainstream media’s treatment of certain recent events. Long, seasonally-enforced nights in. The easy availability of discount booze.

Concerned with affairs, economics, aesthetics, and the idea of North, the weblog takes its name from a radical 18th century publication concerned with liberty. This particular The North Briton has designs on expanding to a print publication itself. News to follow.

All work on the site, including typography, photography and writing is by and copyright of The North Briton unless otherwise stated. The North Briton is a late-twenties polymath with fingers in creative, engineering, entrepreneurial and patronage pies residing in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
