Eilidh Connell covers news and local democracy with a mix of sharp analysis, punk-edged wit, and political clarity. Officially neutral but ideologically rooted in left-wing economic values, she has built a reputation for cutting through establishment doublespeak and cultural distractions to focus on material issues. Educated at the University of Strathclyde in Politics and Environmental Studies, Eilidh began her career at community radio before moving into print journalism with The Herald. Her reporting blends in-depth policy knowledge with a refusal to indulge in superficial narratives, making her work resonate with audiences tired of spin. Known for her sarcastic but good-humoured style, she brings urgency without sensationalism, clarity without condescension. Outside of work, Eilidh volunteers with urban greening projects and enjoys live punk gigs, cycling, and exploring Scottish coastal towns. Her top bands include The Clash, Bikini Kill, The Slits, Idles, and Fontaines D.C., which reflects both her rebellious streak and her connection to working-class culture.
