Angus Nicholson: Marathon Man

“I’ve done the Malta marathon ten times… And I’ve done London seventeen times… And I’ve done Glasgow thirty times. I’ve only missed it once, because last year I had a broken leg.”

For a man who didn’t start running until he was pushing fifty we can perhaps forgive that last unfortunate omission!

Grimsay resident Angus Nicholson, cousin to Ewen MacAskill, talks to Mary Morrison about his remarkable long distance running career, and shows us some of his many medals and trophies garnered over the last thirty years. Abair sgeulachd!

Thanks are also due to Chris Davies, who did a fine job of editing Mary’s clips together.
