While he was best known for his broadcasting work, Alastair was also an accomplished and published historian of the Clyde's naval warfare history, penning the book, Action Stations! (2009). He also created the displays at Gourock Railway Station, highlighting the towns role in the Second World War and the CalMac ships which sailed from there. Together with his book, these are amongst his greatest achievements.
