Two Stirlingshire teenagers are in training to Walk the West Highland Way for charity.

Daniel Glasgow (15) is fundraising for his Strathendrick rugby under 15s team, based in Fintry, to go to Sweden next year, and he is also fundraising for charity, Action in Mind.

His friend Roscoe Dawes (16) is fundraising for his McLaren High World Challenge trip to Eswatini.

The teenagers are walking the iconic route this August - and in the lead up are completing various hikes and mountain climbs, kicking off recently with Ben Ledi.

Daniel lives in Kippen and attends Stirling High.

Mum Ruth said: "The rugby team are going to Sweden next year for a tour, and the whole team are involved in fundraising.

This is one of Daniel's contributions.
