Summary
Pàdraig MacAoidh (Peter Mackay) is Scotland's Makar, or national poet. He's part of the programme for the Opening Ceremony taking place on 27 June 2026, to officially mark the seventh session of the Scottish Parliament. He chats to us about the role, his inspiration behind the poem, and what else he's working on at the moment.
