Sir Tom said: "Today's Glasgow Kiltwalk will help 856 different Scottish charities, the biggest in one day.

"At a time when the cost-of-living crisis is taking a terrible toll, it's important that so many people have come out and walked and donated for the most vulnerable.This year the entry fee for the Mighty Stride and Big Stroll was reduced by 37% from £32 to £20 to make Kiltwalk as accessible as possible.

"We had over 200 SAMH supporters taking part in the event and it was so touching to engage with them at our pit stop and hear their stories of why they chose to raise much-needed funds for Scotland's mental health.
