Stuart McKenzie, the band's solo horn player, lives in Bathgate and works as a Police Officer. He is married with one child. Stuart supports Cowdenbeath FC, and also lists reading, walking, drawing and painting as his interests while not involved with Kingdom.

Stuart began playing with Cowdenbeath in 1977, leaving in 1984 for an army career. He returned to the band in 1990, spending six years in his second spell with Cowdenbeath before work commitments caused him to take a back seat from banding. Stuart had brief spells with Bathgate and Livingston bands before once again returning to Cowdenbeath in 1998, and has been with Kingdom since the band's formation in 1999 .
