More than 7000 people will take part in Sunday's Royal Bank of Scotland Kiltwalk, making it the biggest since the event began seven years ago.

Walkers of the Mighty Stride will tackle a 23-mile route which starts at Glasgow Green and ends in Moss O' Balloch Park, where those taking part in the 15-mile Big Stroll and six-mile Wee Wander will also finish.

The hard work of Kiltwalkers is expected to generate a windfall of more than £1m for Scottish charities this year.

Funds raised by those who choose to walk for the Kiltwalk itself will be distributed through the STV Children's Appeal.

Paul Cooney, chief executive of the Kiltwalk, said: "All those who are walking, and those who are donating, should be extremely proud of themselves. They will make a huge impact to the lives of those who need it most."
