A group of gamekeepers have raised more than £5,000 for Cancer Research UK by climbing a Munro in fluorescent pink mankinis.
The fundraisers, from Angus Glens Moorland Group, also donned pink legwarmers and T-shirts for their hike up Mount Keen, which is 3,081ft above sea level.
It took the team just five hours to scale the hill and return, where they celebrated with a barbecue and drinks with family members.
The Angus Glens Moorland Group have previously climbed Mount Mayar in Glen Cova for Cancer Research, and hope to make their alternative walk a yearly tradition.
Gamekeeper Neal Annand said: “I think Amazon must be wondering what is going on in the glens of Angus because they must have had loads of online orders for pink mankinis in the last few weeks.
“Gamekeepers might not be the kind of people traditionally associated with dressing up like this, stuck up in the hills all day, but it was a great way to get together, have a blether and raise money for charity.”
It was Mr Annand’s wife, Samantha, who came up with the idea for the walk.
She and her sister Vicki Smart have raised more than £20,000 for Cancer Research UK over the last 10 years, after losing both their parents to the disease.
Mrs Annand said: “The idea initially came about mainly because we wanted to do something different. My husband Neal is a gamekeeper and so are a lot of his friends and he does this in order to support me and my sister Vicki. In the past we have done the Edinburgh Moonwalk and various Cancer Research races.
“Loss from cancer doesn’t get any easier and, unfortunately,many of our friends have been affected too. Quite a few of the boys who tookpart in the walk have experienced the loss of loved ones but this was a greatway to raise money for such an important cause.”
