Thousands take part in charity fundraising walk

More than 1,800 people took part in the Royal Bank of Scotland Kiltwalk in Aberdeen yesterday.

The Kiltwalk was open to all charities in Scotland with more than 700 organisations due to benefit this year.

For every pound raised by walkers, £1.10 will go to charity after Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation pledged that he will add 10 per cent to all fundraising. Sir Tom said: “This event wouldn’t be the success it is without the fantastic individuals who devote their time and energy to training for, and walking, the Kiltwalk.”
