Mini Bio
A new book, "McColl of the Wild"
McColl, a familiar face in Scottish televsion comedy for more than 20 years, passed away in 2013 following a battle with cancer.
He rose to national prominence during the 1980s and 1990s with roles in sitcoms 'City Lights' and 'Rab C Nesbitt'.
He was cast in Martin Scorsese's blockbuster movie 'Gangs of New York'
Before he died, McColl had begun recording the ups and downs of his colourful career in what was to be his autobiography.
However, although McColl started the process of recording his own life, the onset of his illness meant he was not able to complete the book himself.
As a result, the task fell to his sister, Martha Brindley, who acted as McColl's carer during his final months.
McColl himself chose the title for the book, 'McColl of the Wild', which also deals with some of the difficulties he faced during his life.
