Church members from the north let their feet do the talking to raise awareness about HIV.
Members of two Highland congregations and a Moray minister walked more than 6.5 million steps between them.
The lay group, from Duncanburgh MacIntosh Parish Church in Fort William and Kilmonivaig Church near Spean Bridge wore red laces in their shoes and boots to walk four million steps in a month as they went about their daily lives to support the Church of Scotland HIV Programme’s All Tied Up campaign.
Rev Jenny Adams, minister of Duffus, Spynie and Hopeman Parish Church in Moray, is also supporting the All Tied Up campaign and has walked 2.6 million steps over the last nine months.
In the 13-strong Highland group, Trevor Jones walked around 700,000 steps along the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Portugal. Debbie Brown did 464,853 steps simply going about her work in a local care home.
They raised £590 for the HIV Programme, which has amassed around £1.8 million over the last 17 years.
It supports 16 projects in 13 countries, including Scotland, by helping to provide nutritional support, home-based care, palliative care, community-based orphan care, awareness raising and education programmes.
There are an estimated 5,881 people living with HIV in Scotland.
Rev Richard Baxter, minister of Duncansburgh MacIntosh, linked with Kilmonivaig Church, said: “My 300,000 steps were at the lower end of the scale but I was amazed at the number of people who chose to get involved.
“I’m delighted at the level of support from the congregation for this important work.”
