Profile of Dr Mark Watson

Dr Watson I presume

Our very own Botanical Dr Watson is currently away in Bhutan advising the locals how to set up a Conservation Database of Botanical species. Regular readers of the Scottish Red-Top press will have seen that on Mark's recent excursions to Eastern lands he has discovered cattle from outer-space and penis-shaped mushrooms so no-one can criticise that out tax money is being wasted! Also Mark collects very odd and rare species of plants and these can now be found in his Garden at Barnton. The link below provides some interesting pictures of Mark "dealing" with the locals collecting some errr plants that perhaps Rent-a-Ghost might be interested in.

As a cricketer, Mark always advocates longer games... to give him a chance to get double figures I guess. Outside cricket he learns all of the episodes of the Fast Show off by heart and his real ambition is to become a Tailor in the true suits-you fashion.
