Writings
Since acrimoniously parting company with Canongate Books, Williamson has worked as a newspaper columnist and cultural commentator, regularly appearing in print and on television and radio. In 2002 he had a regular weekly column controversially axed from The Herald newspaper for his outspoken views on Israel.
His published work includes "A Visitor's Guide To Edinburgh" (co-written with Irvine Welsh in 1993), and "Drugs and the Party Line" (1997). His poetry has been published in anthologies and magazines. In 2005 he won the Robert Louis Stevenson Award for literature.
His first collection of poetry In A Room Darkened was published by Two Ravens Press in October 2007.
Williamson was also a contributor to Pax Edina: The One O' Clock Gun Anthology (Edinburgh, 2010)

“Accursed who brings to light of day
The writings I have cast away.”
