Thousands raised for charity at first Dundee Kiltwalk

Dundee’s first Kiltwalk attracted almost 1,000 people to help raise money for children’s charities.

The challenge saw people take on one of three routes while dressed in kilts, tartan and an assortment of fancy dress costumes.

The full 26-mile walk took people along the Green Circular route from Camperdown Park to Broughty Ferry and back along the riverside.

A half walk started in Broughty Ferry, and there was also a small walk for children around Camperdown Park.

Mhairi Pearson, head of marketing and fundraising for the Kiltwalk, said it was amazing that 980 people took part in the first Dundee Kiltwalk and it will definitely return to the city next year.

She said: “We have had really good support in Dundee for previous walks and some of our really enthusiastic Kiltwalkers wanted to do one in their own town.

“Kiltwalk is really quite a close-knit family. Often the same people take part throughout the country for causes close to them, but here in Dundee the majority of people have been first timers.

“We have been so lucky with the weather again and been blessed with blue skies.”

Kiltwalk regular Karen Wroniecki also took part in the first Dundee event.

Karen and her husband Chris lead team Summer, which this year had 40 members raising money for Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS).

They continue to take part in fundraising events to say thank you for the help they received when their daughter Summer, now six, received treatment for a rare form of cancer when she was three.

Karen said: “A lot of our friends have given us support over the years and have been taking part in the Kiltwalk with us.

“This being the first Dundee event we really wanted to do to it.”

Competitor Darren Liddle became a platinum Kiltwalker at the event, having now completed all five Kiltwalks, and he is already looking for another challenge that will see him achieve diamond.

He said: “It is a big relief now I have finished, but it has been really good fun.”

The platinum club gained two new members on Sunday as Children 1st board members Graeme Bissett and Sandy MacDonald completed their 130-mile anniversary mission.

They took on the challenge to mark the charity’s 130th year.

Graeme said: “Sandy noticed that five times 26 is 130 and we took that as a sign from above that we had to do it to mark the important milestone.”

Between them they raised around £9,000 and Children 1st chief executive Alison Todd turned up to congratulate them on the finish line.

The Kiltwalk started at 9am and some were still crossing the finish line at 5pm, but all were treated to a bowl of free stovies and a medal at the end.
