A SCOTTISH adventurer is set to undertake the world’s most difficult and dangerous row, just five months after life-saving heart surgery.
Jamie Douglas-Hamilton will navigate treacherous seas on a 950-mile route between Antarctica and South Georgia in the Atlantic in January in an attempt to raise more than £100,000 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF). He also wants to raise awareness of his campaign to have the Polar Medal awarded to Harry McNish, a carpenter from Port Glasgow who saved the crew of Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance voyage in the 1900s
In August, Douglas-Hamilton had open heart surgery at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary to repair an aortic valve.
