It has just been confirmed that over £100,000 was raised for children in Scotland and beyond from the Tartan Army Childrens Charity Kilt Walk which took place on Sunday 18 April 2010.

Stuart Gray from Thomson Gray took part in the walk accompanied by a friend. The 26 mile walk started at Hampden Park and finished at the Loch Lomond National Trust HQ in Balloch. The walk started with a 2 mile march down to the Clyde accompanied by a piper and with a police escort whilst the remaining 24 miles followed the Sustrans pathways out to Loch Lomond.

Despite a lack of training Stuart was pleased to have completed the walk in 8 hours with no blisters (just extremely sore legs). It was however well worth it as he managed to raise £775 for the charity thanks to contributions from clients, colleagues, family and friends.
