A daredevil 87-year-old gran took on a 160ft zip line to raise funds for homeless people in Scotland.
"I’ll be honest and admit I thought I’d keep my eyes closed during the whole zip wire but I didn’t, I kept my eyes open the whole time. It was amazing seeing the whole view. I was fighting the rain on my face but during it, I did not feel as though I was that high up." Before the zip wire, she said: “While out on the street I discovered people that I never imagined would find themselves in such a position, it really opened my eyes. As a society we often pass the homeless in the street and see them as nothing but actually a lot who are homeless, have just suffered from a downward spiral, and that often leads to addiction on the streets.
