Glasgow Kiltwalk Hailed A 'Huge Success'

Today's Glasgow Kiltwalk saw thousands of kilted Walkers trek 26 miles to raise vital funds for Scotland’s children’s charities.

This was The Kiltwalk’s fourth flagship sponsored walk from Glasgow to Balloch.

The previous three events have helped allow the charity to distribute £2.4 million to charities and organisations which benefit the country’s children.

The Kiltwalk’s Chairman Michael Ure said: “We are incredibly excited the 2015 Kiltwalk season is finally underway and what a way to start.

“All the hard work is worth it when you see our intrepid Walkers kilted, booted and ready to take on a hard day’s walking for the sake of Scotland’s children.

“After everything that’s happened in the last few months, this year’s Kiltwalks are even more special and I think the spirit, atmosphere and sense of togetherness of this year’s Glasgow Kiltwalk reminded everyone what makes Kiltwalks such incredibly important events in the third sector event calendar.”

There are five other Kiltwalk events across Scotland throughout the summer, starting with the Edinburgh Kiltwalk on May 3rd.

The Aberdeen Kiltwalk is on June 7th, the Perth Kiltwalk on August 8th, the Speyside Kiltwalk on August 30th and the Dundee Kiltwalk on September 20th.
