Pamela Mackie from Cambusbarron is taking on the Full Moon walking challenge at The MoonWalk Scotland this year as she emerges from the shadow of Long Covid.

Pamela, 45, has taken part in The MoonWalk Scotland since it started - but this year is walking with a team of youngsters (including some of her own children) and adults from the Rubber Chicken Theatre company, which she runs in Dunblane.

The Moonwalk sees women and men wearing brightly decorated bras as they walk marathons through the streets of Edinburgh overnight.

This year's MoonWalk is on Saturday September 6. After 19 years, it will be the last Moon Walk taking place in the capital, before the event goes on tour to a new city.

Pamela said: "I've been taking part in The MoonWalk Scotland since it first started 19 years ago, I've raised more than £15,000 for organisers Walk the Walk during that time and absolutely love everything this unique event stands for.

"I'm really excited to have signed up this year with a group of adults and youngsters from the Rubber Chicken Theatre, a social enterprise which I run in Dunblane. It's wonderful to be introducing a whole new generation of walkers to such an incredible event!
