The Activist
Alan Cumming is one of Scotland’s most celebrated modern exports — an actor, writer, presenter and cultural icon whose career spans stage, film and television across the world. From award-winning performances on Broadway to roles in Hollywood and his unmistakable presence on screen, Cumming has built a reputation for bold creativity, sharp wit and a deep pride in his Scottish roots.
The MacGregor Story
Now this is Scotland, right here, right now. Alan Cumming isn’t just a global star — he’s one of us. Fiercely proud, unapologetically Scottish, and always ready to tell a story worth hearing. Whether he’s on stage, on screen, or presenting to the world, he carries that same spirit — humour, honesty, and just a touch of mischief.
And not too long ago, that story brought him through our doors. Filming with his crew from CNN, he came into MacGregor’s — not as a celebrity looking in, but as part of it. The music, the atmosphere, the people — it’s the kind of place that reflects the Scotland he celebrates.
Because that’s what this is. Not a performance, not a set — but the real thing. A place where stories are shared, music is lived, and Scotland shows up exactly as it is. And when someone like Alan Cumming walks in and feels at home, you know you’re doing something right.
