Dad of tragic Edinburgh schoolboy helps install life-saving kit at campus

A new defibrillator has been installed at the Edinburgh high school where teenager Andrew MacKinnon attended before his tragic death.

The 15-year-old was a pupil at Forrester High School when he collapsed while playing football with friends in March. A keen footballer, Andrew's passing shook the community and left a hole in the hearts of friends and family.

His dad, also named Andrew, has been vocal on social media following his son's death, and recently started up the Andrew Mackinnon Foundation, aiming to help youngsters play football no matter their circumstances.
