Outside of rugby

In 2012, as an RAF Cadet, McDonald Seran won the Kriegie Trophy. The trophy is awarded to the Cadet who, in the opinion of the officers, is the best of the Air Cadets to attend the course in that particular year. A motion was lodged in the Scottish Parliament by his local SNP MSP, Fiona Macleod, to congratulate McDonald's achievement.[9][10]
