Person
John Mackay was born in Glasgow in 1965 and has drawn on the oral traditions of his Hebridean background to write The Road Dance - his first novel - and one that sears itself onto the reader's mind, a novel you can't not respond to. John MacKay is a journalist and newsreader for STV and presents Scotland Today.
