A north-east cancer charity has called on people to pull on their walking shoes to raise money for people living with the disease.
Clan Cancer Support’s annual Tartan Trek will take place on May 6 at Balmoral Castle.
It will be the ninth year the event has taken place, with last year’s event raising over £2,500.
Participants will have the choice of two routes to complete on the day.
The 10k route will cover the areas surrounding Balmoral Castle.
For those who prefer a shorter walk, the Tartan Toddle will cover a three and a half kilometre route on castle grounds.
Steph Dowling, the charity’s senior fundraising coordinator, said: “We are delighted to be heading to the Balmoral Estate again this year for the Tartan Trek. The event really has developed a strong following, with so many of our supporters enjoying the opportunity to explore the paths of such an iconic part of Deeside.
“Raising more than £2,500 last year was fantastic, and the support Clan receives through events like these plays a crucial part in ensuring Clan can continue to provide vital cancer support services, free of charge, to anyone affected by cancer.”
