HUNDREDS of Scots wearing brightly coloured bras and “bra t-shirts” took part in The MoonWalk Scotland to raise vital funds cancer treatment.
The nighttime event in Edinburgh set off from Holyrood Park at 11pm on Saturday with participants walking a half or full marathon through the capital to raise money for charity Walk The Walk.
Glittering light installations showed MoonWalkers the way, with iconic buildings across the Edinburgh skyline also lit up pink in their honour including Camera Obscura, the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Lloyds on the Mound, the Radisson Blu Hotel and the Stamp Office.
Dozens of walkers also took on a walking challenge virtually in their own areas.

Scotland’s MoonWalk has raised £22 million since the event was first staged in 2006.
Funds awarded by Walk the Walk make a huge difference to people across Scotland living with cancer. Recent grants have been made to the Beatson Cancer Charity, Ayrshire Cancer Support and Make 2nds Count.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
