A Scots couple will plunge into chilly waters at Portobello on Saturday to complete a swimming marathon in memory of their late son to raise funds for the Samaritans.
Jenny and John Findlay set out to swim the equivalent distance between Norway and Shetland to honour their son Michael who took his own life in 2021 aged 25.
Michael had been due to sail a tall ship from Bergen in Norway to Lerwick in Shetland with his parents and older brother John in 2019, but was too ill to go.
