Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

Honorary Clinical Tutor at University of Edinburgh.

I live in North Berwick, East Lothian and am therefore compelled by local by-laws to play golf. This has unfortunately not lead to any improvement in my game. I perform more successfully as a Tenor with Opera East Lothian and can pull off an excellent rendition of most Disney ballads at the request of my two young daughters. Despite being more of a rugby fan I have enjoyed many trips as Lead Doctor with the Scottish Football Association medical team. I come from a long line of West Coast doctors and farmers but am grateful I can now spend my summer weekends enjoying the East Lothian beaches rather than getting sheep ready for a show.
