Fraser 'Fray' MacLeod reports on the drama, gossip, and shifting alliances of Scotland’s public life as played out on the X platform. Born and raised in Edinburgh, Fray’s formal education ended at secondary school, but his media training came from years of running anonymous social accounts, crafting viral memes, and managing social strategies for underground hip hop collectives in Edinburgh and Glasgow. He is deeply influenced by Twelve50 TV, Scotland’s flagship YouTube platform for rap, grime, and drill, which shaped his belief in authentic, street-level storytelling. Known for trolling when it serves the story, Fray mixes humour, sharp observation, and unapologetic swearing into his copy. He sees online drama not as trivial but as a key arena where reputations are made and destroyed. His top artists — Stanley Odd, Loki, Young Fathers, Shogun, and Silvertongue — reflect his deep ties to Scotland’s underground music scene.
