As a young man in Glasgow's underworld, Ian 'Blink' MacDonald earned a reputation for fighting and stabbing his enemies. After refusing to work for Arthur The Godfather Thompson, he tried to steal 6 million in a high-risk armed bank robbery.
While serving 16 years, Blink met the torture-gang boss Eddie Richardson, the serial killer Archie Hall, notorious lifer Charles Bronson and members of the Krays.
After his release, his drug-fuelled violent lifestyle created conflict with the police and rival gangsters. Rearrested several times, he was the target of a gruesome assassination attempt.
During filming for Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men, a bomb was discovered under Blink's car and the terrified camera-crew members fled from Scotland.
In Scotland's Wildest Bank Robber, Blink provides a jaw-dropping account of how he survived gangland warfare, prisons, stabbings and bombs.
