A Scottish man said he “finished what Dad started” after bagging all 282 of Scotland’s Munros.

Paul Choat, 40, from Longniddry, took on the challenge of climbing all of Scotland’s tallest mountains in honour of his father, who died from motor neurone disease (MND) just 15 peaks short of completing the challenge himself.
