Three Scottish schoolboys have announced they will be scrapping their traditional sixth year holiday in order to raise money for charity.
The group, from Bo'Ness, will be taking on the West Highland Way instead of a week in the sun, with the hope of collecting a sizeable sum for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Owen Watkins, Aaron Masters and Findlay Macinnes, all 17, are now beginning to prepare for the challenge, which stretches from Milngavie to Fort William.

Sharing their plans, the boys explained they have set a deadline of six days to complete the 96 mile trail when they take it on together in June.
A GoFundMe page has been set up, which has already raised almost £1,000
Speaking to Falkirk Live, Owen said: "Instead of heading on a lads holiday, we have decided to stay at home and do something for a good cause.
"We are going to walk the West Highland Way in June and raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
"Cancer can hit anyone, and we hear more no about younger people, people our age being diagnosed with it.

"There's no point in us doing such a huge challenge for nothing, so we all thought why don't we raise some cash and help others out.
The Bo'ness Academy pupils will be taking to Perthshire to walk some hills to get them both mentally and physically prepared.
Owen added: "Because we get free bus travel in Scotland, that means we can travel anywhere, so have decided to head to Perthshire and get some steps in.
"It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be done.
"We have a spread sheet all set out with what we need to do, and it works out walking about 21 miles a day.
"Our families have been greatly supportive, they have all donated and are looking froward to us heading off and taking on the challenge.
"We are really looking forward to it."
