ABOUT GH MEDIA
Ever since he can remember Gary Heatly has had a love for sport and a love for writing. While he was at school growing up in Edinburgh he set about combining the two and began to write match reports for rugby and cricket matches that his friends were playing in.
That progressed to getting involved in the school magazine and then writing for the university newspaper and so on.
Having cut his teeth in the ‘real world’ at the Midlothian Advertiser newspaper for a couple of years he has since been kept busy as a member of the editorial team at SCRUM Magazine – Scotland’s only dedicated rugby union title – whilst providing regular sports content to various national newspapers and websites.
