Eleanor Morton is a Scottish stand-up, writer and actor who started performing stand-up when she was 18 years old. Her 2023 Fringe show, Eleanor Morton Has Peaked, enjoyed a sell-out run, and she wrote and recorded a show for BBC R4, 'The Rest of Us', with Welsh comic Esyllt Sears and Northern Irish comic Mary Flanigan, about overlooked figures in UK history. She is perhaps best known for her online videos and characters, including the dour Scottish tour guide 'Craig'. She is currently based in Edinburgh and LIFE LESSONS FROM HISTORICAL WOMEN is Morton's first book.
