The Confessions and Life Lessons of a Country Sports Photographer by Linda Mellor
Launched on December 16th, 2023, this is her first memoir. Linda Mellor’s journey is a tale of transformation. She ran off to London in her early 20s for a career in head-hunting. She took a leap in her 30s, returning to her beloved countryside as both a photographer and writer. Over two decades, she broke barriers in the once male-dominated world of country sports, becoming a pioneering female photographer and writer in Scotland.
Now settled in the Highlands with her deerstalking partner, Linda’s days are immersed in capturing the Scottish countryside, wildlife, and rural life. Passionate about her craft, she hosts events and talks, and can often be found photographing deer in the hills or sketching in the woods. With three victories over cancer, Linda invites us to join her on a journey of wonder – a journey that reflects resilience, passion, and an enduring love for the Scottish outdoors.

For the Love of Country Sports by Linda Mellor
Published at the 2023 Scottish Game Fair, the new edition of For the Love of Country Sports explores the deep connection and love of the outdoors through 70+ stories. From fishing to ferreting, deer stalking to game cooking and everything else in-between, the book shares individual stories of how deeply rooted we are to the outdoors and why the countryside is so important to us. The heart-warming tales from the countryside are as authentic as Mother Nature herself and offers some comfort in an ever-changing world. You can buy it here (follow the link) on Amazon.
Review from the Scottish Field
“One of Scotland’s leading field sports writers tells the story of those who retain a passion for the outdoors, doing so with huge affection and sympathy. In an increasingly urban society, those who live off the land are often marginalised, but Mellor examines their way of life and sheds light while doing so. This is a lovely paean to fading world.”
The Onwards and Upwards Girls By Linda Mellor
Love, life, laughter and murder for four friends in their fifties as they navigate their way through life and dating. Set in 2015, and based in Fife, Scotland, Fiftysomethings, Karen, Annie, Bernie and Faye enjoy a long awaited get-together but it takes a sinister turn when one of them drunkenly confesses to murdering her first husband, and others.
A sudden death and subsequent funeral reveals bitterness and a secret affair. A plane crash denies a chance of love, and one of the girls is arrested. Putting it all behind them, the three girls looked forward to a new start and a night at the Daffodil ball on a country estate in East Lothian. A love interest is still entangled with his estranged wife and the new start the girls had hoped for is blighted by a work-place sacking for sexual harassment and further prosecution, followed by a double dose of shocking news.
