More than 10,000 take part in this year's Glasgow Kiltwalk

The 23-mile Mighty Stride left from Glasgow Green this morning, at the same time as the Big Stroll, a 15-mile jaunt which kicked off in Clydebank.

Later, those tackling the three-mile Wee Wander took off from Loch Lomond Shores, with the routes converging to end in Balloch.

Including the latest fundraising figures, Scotland’s favourite mass participation event has now raised more than £32 million for 2,850 charities since April 2016.

As is Kiltwalk tradition, every £1 raised receives a 50 per cent top up from The Hunter Foundation.

With Glasgow walkers raising an impressive £2 million, this total was boosted by Sir Tom Hunter to £3 million, which will be gifted to 685 Scottish charities.

Sir Tom Hunter said: “I regard the success of Kiltwalk as one of the Foundation’s greatest achievements. It was a joy to see so many of our Kiltwalk Heroes out in their tartan at Glasgow Green.

“Their kindness means the world to me and to Scotland’s charities, and I can’t stress enough how much it’s appreciated in these toughest of times.

“After a challenging few year, Scotland’s charities benefit from every donation so Kiltwalkers should be very proud of the difference they have made today.”

Famous faces who took part included Jackie Bird and River City’s Stephen Purdon – aka Shellsuit Bob.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon completed the Wee Wander to raise funds for Who Cares? Scotland, a national voluntary organisation working with care experienced young people and care leavers.
