Nearly 2000 Scots laced up their walking boots to take part in this year's Kiltwalk.

A few rain showers did not seem to dampen the spirits of walkers, who took on the challenge all in the name of their favourite charity.

A few familiar faces went the extra mile to raise funds for the STV Children's Appeal, which aims to tackle child poverty in Scotland.

STV News presenter Andrea Brymer added: "We've been doing the STV Appeal now for a few years but each year it gets more and more important that we raise awareness of how many children in Scotland are living in poverty.

"Obviously it's important to try to raise money to try to support them."

Fellow presenter Norman MacLeod: "You see a lot of kids around here today getting involved so they are doing their bit for less fortunate children and it is fantastic."
