‘My son’s heart beats on in the nicest guy I’ve ever met’

Robert Meiklem tracked down the man who received his son's heart after a gut feeling struck when he saw him on STV.

In September 2023, STV’s Scotland Tonight filmed a documentary with Colin Gray, as he received the incredible gift of a heart transplant.

Colin had been living with advanced heart disease, and the operation undoubtedly saved his life.

As he recovered, he was desperate to find his donor’s family, to thank them for giving him a second chance at life. 

Little did he know, Robert Meiklem had watched that documentary on STV, and had a gut instinct that Colin had received his son’s heart.
