FirstFoot is a collective body of independent Scottish writers who contribute articles on an irregular and unsolicited basis within a broad range of topics. They receive no payment whatsoever for these.

By definition, therefore, FirstFoot has no editor in chief other than its contributors themselves. Accordingly, FirstFoot as a website exercises no editorial control and trusts only that each writer will adhere to their own standards of decency and common sense and work within the parameters of law.

Articles deemed to be offensive by the majority of the FirstFoot community will, however, be removed if published at all. To date, this has never proved to be necessary.

The opinions and views put forward, like those of the FirstFoot public discussion forum, are freely given and freely accepted in the spirit of democratic free speech and do not necessarily mirror the opinions or views of all parties involved in this website.

There is no one person behind FirstFoot. The Alternative voice of Scotland talks in many accents and tongues.

We respect the right of our contributors to privacy. All press-related or other enquiries therefore should be directed to firstfoot.com in the first instance and no discussion or correspondence will be entered into on an individual named basis unless by the consent of the contributing community.
