Six-year-old Glen and his owner George have reached the summit of each of Scotland's 282 Munros.
A cocker spaniel from Stonehaven has joined an exclusive group of canines who have reached the top of every Munro in Scotland.The pair completed the challenge, which they started in 2018, on Saturday after scaling his final peak, Ben More on Mull.He said: "I am so proud of Glen. It is an achievement for me too, but to do it with my dog, it truly has been such a special experience.
"I certainly have mixed emotions. I am so glad we have managed to complete all 282 but at the same time, I'm sad it's over."The 70-year-old began scaling the mountains in his retirement, and was inspired by a guide to get a four-legged companion to join him on his adventures. "It has been a great activity for us both; for me to keep me fit, and for Glen, well it is always good to have company and what is better than an energetic spaniel," he said.
