Ronnie MacLennan Baird

Ronnie MacLennan Baird was built on the Clyde, but his vocation as a professional Glaswegian proved unremunerative.

Instead, he pursued his avocations and has earned his living as a lawyer, a court reporter, a breakfast show presenter, a tour guide and an ice cream salesman.

When airline loyalty schemes were easier to game by taking circuitous routes, he much preferred to travel hopefully than to arrive.
