The friends of tragic Edinburgh schoolboy Andrew MacKinnon have raised over £1,000 to pay for a memorial in his memory.
Jamie Brodie, 38, from Sighthill, coached Andrew during his time playing for Salvesen’s 2007 team. His son had played alongside him and Jamie's family, along with the local community, were devastated by the loss of Andrew who died from a heart failure while playing football close to Forrester High School on Tuesday March 14.
A number of Andrew’s friends joined former valet Jamie and a host of local businesses to undertake a mass car wash at Gate 55 in Sighthill on Sunday March 25. Throughout the day they managed to raise £1,150 and also encouraged famous Edinburgh chef Tom Kitchen to donate £200 to the GoFundMe page set up after Andrew’s death.
