An Ayrshire amputee is hitting new heights as a mountaineer after years of hiding her disability.
Debbie McQuat, who was born with a missing leg and underdeveloped arm, has scaled nine Munros since taking up her new found passion last year.
The 49-year-old mum from Stevenston, was inspired by Ben Lovell, an Englishman who set up an 'Ampcamp' fitness retreat for amputees after losing his right leg as a result of a blood clot in 2017.
