From 1939 he was also a screenwriter. His range extended from the "Thin Man" clone This Man is News to the murder-on-the-rails meller Sleeping Car to Trieste (1948). He also contributed to the general goodwill of such comedies as Cheer Boys Cheer (1939) and Vote for Huggett. MacKinnon retired in 1956.
His serial detectives are Insp. Duncan MacCallum or Insp. David Stanners and the background is Scotland or London. Red-Winged Angel and Assignment in Iraq feature Mike Darroch and are set in the Middle East. Barzun & Taylor say of these "The author is hardly ever convincing outside the Scottish scene he knows and does so well"
