Hundreds of women gathered in the grounds of Scone Palace on Saturday for a record-breaking Scottish Pink Ribbonwalk.
More than 750 walkers descended upon the stunning venue for a very special 10th anniversary event to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care.
The vast majority of entrants had been touched in some way by the illness, whether through friends or family or their own personal experiences.
The hardiest set out at 9.30am on a 20-mile walk around the palace grounds, while a larger field gathered later for the shorter 10-mile route.
They were joined by celebrities Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and singer Darius Campbell, who completed the walk himself alongside members of his family.
Among the record number of walkers were more than 100 members of Curves gyms in Perth, Dundee, Broughty Ferry and Dunfermline.Click here for a full photo galleryThe Perth gym has been taking part in the Scone walk for the past eight years, but owner Wendy Forsyth, 41, convinced her fellow clubs to take part this year.
“Breast Cancer Care has always been our charity of choice and each October we fundraise by waiving our joining fee.
“With this event local to Perth it has been a great additional fundraiser and, as Curves is all about community and supporting each other, I’m delighted that the other clubs agreed to take part.”
Curves members Christine Jardine, Laurie McFarlane and Zoe Blackwood led the walkers in a warm-up, to the tune of Pitbull’s hit, Timber.
Loose Woman presenter Adams revealed that when friend Sawalha asked her how difficult the walk was, she had replied in the words of gritty television detective Taggart, saying “It’s murder”.
She added: “In all seriousness, however, it’s a really beautiful walk and I wanted to show Nadia the course.”
Sawalha meanwhile admitted that she was starting the walk “with a slight hangover”, adding that “if anyone has a bacon sandwich in their pocket it will be much appreciated”.
Mother and daughter Coral and Hannah Davie travelled down from Aberdeen to take part in the walk.
“We’ve known people who have suffered from breast cancer and we both decided that we wanted to do our bit to help,” said Coral.
Also on the starting line was Julie Morley from Lanarkshire, who was joined by friends and family for the walk.
“Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and if it wasn’t for the support I received from my friends and relatives then I wouldn’t be here today,” she said.
“They helped me every day, drove me to chemo and gave me the strength to fight it.”
Dorothy Allan and Fiona Glascodine, who take part almost every year, also travelled south from Aberdeen.
The friends who are both nurses have first-hand experience of looking after people who are battling against cancer.
“I help provide care to sufferers in their own homes and while it can very sad and emotional it is also hugely rewarding,” Fiona said.
Members of the Tillicoultry Thursday Club were also out in force.
Perth’s Kirsty Penn chose to celebrate her 30th birthday by taking part in the Ribbonwalk, joined by colleagues from Perth Women’s Aid.
Organisers hope that the Scone event will have helped to raise more than £200,000.
