They were joined at the 18th fairway by Sir Tom Hunter, Sky Sports Jim White, Judy Murray OBE, Paralympic tennis champion Gordon Reid MBE, STV Weatherman Sean Batty and Scots soap star Tom Urie.

Kiltwalk CEO Paul Cooney said: "A huge thank you to each and every Kiltwalker for clocking in the miles today.

"This huge amount of money raised at the Dundee Kiltwalk today will match the total amount raised from all four Kiltwalks three years ago.

"Kiltwalk is growing and we want to thank everyone who has generously sponsored our walkers today.

"I’d like to thank everyone for their Kiltwalk kindness, including Sir Tom and The Hunter Foundation, for giving Scotland an amazing opportunity for people to raise money for the charities they care about most.

"Don’t forget you can still walkor donate at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk on September 15!"
