Hamish Macdonell - new start for spin doctor

NOT much has been heard about Neil McKinnon, the former spin doctor for the Scottish Liberal Democrats.
McKinnon was a fixture at the Scottish Parliament for eight years before walking away from the party last year.
The Steamie has heard rumours that he might re-surface soon, but instead of politics, he is to move to the arts, as a press officer for the Edinburgh Fringe.
Given the recent travails at the Fringe over ticketing, it may be a much harder job than the general 'herding cats' routine which McKinnon had to do when trying to keep Lib Dem MSPs in order.
But unlike politics, the Fringe only lasts for a few weeks a year.
