Sir Tom Hunter, Judy Murray and STV’s Laura Boyd and Phillip Petrie were at the start at Glasgow Green to wave off 7,500 Mighty Striders who walked the 22.6 miles to scenic Moss O’Balloch Park at Loch Lomond. Another 4,000 heroes trekked the 14 miles from Three Queens Square, Clydebank to Balloch and 2,600 Kiltwalkers took on the 3-mile Wee Wander from Loch Lomond Shores to the Kiltwalk Village at Moss O’Balloch Park.Sir Tom Hunter said: “Kiltwalk is quite simply the easiest way to raise money for a charity that you care about. Today, in Glasgow, we raised more than £2.5m for 900 different Scottish charities.
"We have more than 14,000 people taking part, because it’s easy to do, and offers incredible value for money – you pay a small amount to walk and everything you raise goes to the charity of your choice. “It is staggering. Since The Hunter Foundation got involved over eight years ago, more than 166,000 Kiltwalkers have helped to raise more than £46m for 3,500 different Scottish charities.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
