GLOBETROTTING supporters of an East Lothian charity are making their way ‘Round the World in 90 Days’ as part of Scotland’s Virtual Kiltwalk. Their challenge, which began in January, is raising funds for Muirfield Riding Therapy (MRT), based at West Fenton, near Gullane. The walkers had no idea then if they would reach their target of logging enough team miles to circumnavigate the world by the Virtual Kiltwalk weekend on April 25. But with two months under their belts, they’ve already covered a staggering 19,711 miles. Organisers of The Kiltwalk, named as the UK’s fifth biggest mass participation fundraising event, switched to virtual events in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, raising £7 million in the process.
