In the remote Highlands of Scotland, a restored estate becomes the silent stage for a planned political atrocity.
A dissident republican cell plots the kidnapping of Princess Anne, believing isolation guarantees success. They are wrong.
Alexander McKenzie sees the danger and acts alone. Lives are saved. Terrorists vanish. History quietly corrects itself.
But heroism has a price. In a world where legality and justice seldom align, McKenzie must erase the truth to survive. While his enemies erupt in confusion and rage, he and his wife flee by sea, only to find obsession and violence close behind.
The Laird is a tense, morally charged political thriller about courage without applause and the quiet power of doing what must be done.

About Gordon Mackay (1941–2021)
A proud Scotsman, farmer and rugby player, Gordon eventually bought a run-down pub on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. He renovated it to become the very popular “Castle Inn.”
In 1999, he married his best friend of twenty years, Susan. They sold their properties and, with his widowed mother, they moved to the West Coast of Scotland. Now retired, he taped this story.
His widow, Susan, decided it would be a fitting legacy for him, to type it out and get it published.
