A plucky pensioner who has raised over £50,000 for charity has added another £10,000 to this total with a half mile swim.
79-year-old fundraising hero and veteran John Thompson took the plunge recently to raise the cash for Poppy Scotland.
And he recently presented a cheque for £10,190 to Megan-Rose-Birdsall, regional fundraiser east for Poppyscotland.
