He has twice been visiting Eccles Professor at Weber State University, lecturing and reading on Scottish mountain history. He has also written on Utah's wilderness; "We Gotta Ben Lomond in Utah" (Scots Magazine) and "Utah's Desert Canyons" (Great Outdoors).
This visit provides editors with the opportunity for interviews with Ian, or for pre-publication extracts from 'Mountain Bandit', as well as opportunities for commissions; Ian will be exploring Utah's Rocky Mountains in the weeks before the Book Event.
