“To be able to point out Signal Hill and Lion’s Head – and my apartment – was just amazing. We’re in the V&A Waterfront where I do all my shopping and I’ll be taking some of the crew to show them around my city later.”
Mr Barclay, who had a kidney transplant in 2005, is one of the Transplant Ambassadors, a team of transplantees, surgeons and other medics who have joined the Edinburgh crew to highlight the way that transplants transform lives.
