Scots couple to walk gruelling NC500 after tragically losing both children within a year

A Scots couple who lost two children within a year are taking on a gruelling 500-mile walk around Scotland in their memory. David Christopher, 45, and Louise Russell, 54, from Cupar, are preparing to walk and camp the North coast 500 in memory of Ciaran Reilly and Siobhan Russell.

Heartbroken stepdad David and mum Louise were first hit with tragedy when Ciaran, 29, took his own life in December 2020, leaving behind three kids aged eight, five and three.

Speaking to the Daily Record, David said his death "came out of the blue" as Ciaran has been talking about plans for the next stage of his life.
