They took part in Scotland’s Memory Walk, and set off on a route from Edinburgh Airport to the Dunfermline centre in five hours, raising £2,200.

The donation will be used to deliver social and therapeutic activities across Alzheimer Scotland’s 24 dementia resource centres and support the organisation’s work.
