Don your tartan and help Scotland’s animals

Scotland’s animal welfare charity is calling on active locals who are keen to get fit, get active and get outdoors this spring and raise funds for animals in need throughout the country.

Kirsteen Campbell, Scottish SPCA chief executive, said: “The Kiltwalk is a fantastic way to raise funds for animals in the area, whilst getting fit in the process and having a bit of fun too!

“Participants can choose from The Mighty Stride (26 miles), The Big Stroll (13 miles) or The Wee Wander (6 miles) so it’s perfect for people of different fitness levels.

There’s a walk for everyone, from the super fit to complete beginners.”

Kirsteen added: “We don’t receive any government funding which means we rely on the public to be able to continue our work rescuing and rehoming animals in desperate need of our help.

“Anyone who sets themselves the challenge of taking part in one of the events really will be helping save lives.”
