Scott MacDonald
A nurse and a Trustee of Waverley Care, Frontliners and Safe, Scott was one of the most valued champions of HIV care and the fight against stigma in Scotland.
See also Quilts 35 and 38 for further panels made in his memory.
Listen to Scott's story
Scott was a nurse....a healer. The influence of Scott's spirit was felt in every corner of Milestone House, Scotland's first and only AIDS hospice
