The Tartan Tales Media Network

Tartan Tales Media brings together authors, journalists, podcasters, and independent media voices exploring crime, justice, memory, and the stories that shape us.

A retired detective is lured back to a case that was never properly investigated.
What he finds is not a mistake, but a decision.

Across Scotland, the UK and Ireland, organised crime operates alongside those we pay and trust to stop it. Some protect it. Some profit from it. And some truths were never meant to surface.

Kintyre, The Past Doesn’t Forget, spans decades. A story of loss, lasting love, and the pursuit of those responsible for the destruction of lives, futures and identity.

Young women torn from their lives, abused and discarded, their loved ones left without peace or closure, until people like Eddie Weir and his formidable partner Kim Kerr make it their business to uncover the truth.

As a rookie in 1981, Eddie had been distracted and diverted, sensing only that something was wrong. Now, back on the trail of those responsible, there can be no let up in the pursuit of justice.

The Ten Percent

by Simon McLean

The Ten Percent is a candid memoir from a former Scottish detective who spent decades on the front line and undercover. With blunt honesty and dark humour, Simon McLean shows how decisions are really made inside the system  and what that means for victims, families and communities long after the headlines fade.
