John Cairney is one of Scotland's leading actors. He has been described as a living embodiment of Robert Burns, perhaps best known for writing and starring in the 1968 Scottish Television adaptation Burns. Since then, he has written and performed on all media and at festivals and Burns night suppers around the world.
