Matt Girvan hiked a trail which runs the length of Scotland - then had to walk even further when his ferry was cancelled.

Matt said the plaque at the end of the Scottish National Trail incorrectly states that the route is 470 miles long

The 29-year-old was suffering from the onset of trench foot and was in excruciating pain when he completed the Scottish National Trail, with his blistered feet having swollen up by a shoe size.Matt said he was "heartbroken" when he realised he had to do an extra walk to reach the bus. Matt, who lives in Edinburgh, then had to go back along 16 miles of the route that he had walked just hours beforehand, to catch a bus from Kinlochbervie.

The route, created by Cameron McNeish in 2012, links up sections of Scotland's best-known walking routes.
