Peter Irons

Peter Irons is a writer, skeptic, and professional untangler of historical half-truths. With a sharp wit and a keen eye for the absurd, he specializes in peeling back the layers of cultural myths, scientific misconceptions, and history’s most persistent lies. Whether exposing long-forgotten conspiracies or dissecting the stories we take for granted, he invites readers to question everything and laugh at the absurdity in between. Born and raised in a quiet Scottish village, Peter’s fascination with storytelling began through photography and filmmaking, before evolving into a deep love for history and investigative writing. His works blend sharp observation, biting humor, and historical depth, making the past feel as alive—and as questionable—as the present. When not writing, Peter enjoys a dram of honey-liqueured whisky, a good plate of stoveys, and wandering through mist-shrouded landscapes, always in search of the next great untold story.
