Paul Kavanagh is columnist for The National and blogger who writes and talks about Scottish independence, and the human face of the Wee Ginger Dug. He has been involved in the digital Scottish media since he was one of the founder members of Newsnet Scotland back in 2011.
Apart from the politics of an independent Scotland and the independence movement, he has an abiding interest in Scottish languages, maps, and place names.
Together with the dug, who is the real star of the show, Paul travels the length and breadth of Scotland giving public talks about independence.
