Eden James

Eden James lives in Staffordshire, where he works as a laboratory specialist for an automotive manufacturer. Graduating as a mechanical engineer he has always had a love of history, architecture and travel, and a keen interest in engineering and cars, especially the old classics. Eden James sees them not just as mechanical devices but as compelling design motifs and silent commentators on the world in which they were born, and the lives of people that they shared. As such, a connection to cars is present in most works that he has written, not merely as props, but as a way of expressing an individual’s unique character.​ A passion for the Scottish Highlands was born during regular family holidays to the Great Glen. Embarking on solo travels around the world, from Burma to Bolivia, Eden James has always been drawn back to the wild northwest of Scotland. An exploration of the Scottish north coast one bleak winter further galvanised his love of the Highlands, the dramatic mountains, secluded coves and charming, tight-knit communities. As an amateur photographer, the incredible drama of Glencoe, Wester Ross and the Outer Hebrides has inspired and furnished many opportunities to capture his love of nature on film and in his writing.
