Four intrepid friends recently completed the St Cuthbert’s Way to remember a pal who tragically died – and raised £1,600 for charity.
The Archie Foundation and the Macmillan Trust will benefit to the tune of £1,000 and £600, respectively, thanks to the efforts of Donny Mackay, Brian Dowling, Jake Gibb and Ian Cameron.
The lads, all of whom hail from Carnoustie, have completed six walks in the seven last years, only missing out last year due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
And this year they completed their 62-mile effort from the Scottish Borders to Northumberland in memory of friend Ian Reid, who tragically died from cancer in March last year at only 53 years of age.
The Royal Deeside Motor Show will now take place in August.
The Royal Deeside Motor Show was due to take place on July 17 and 18 at Kincardine Castle and Estate but it has now been moved to August 14 and 15.
Held in the grounds of privately-owned Kincardine Castle near Kincardine O’Neil, the two-day Royal Deeside Motor Show is run by Aberdeen-based Etiom Events and is a much-anticipated new addition to the motoring events calendar.
Since its launch in October 2020, the event has captured the attention of many motor enthusiasts both locally and nationally who have signed up to showcase their vehicles throughout the 100,000m2 sprawling estate.
