A Scottish charity runner has started her bid to run the length of the UK in memory of her best friend, who died from epilepsy last year.

Caitlin Andrew, from Clydebank, is aiming to become the first Scottish woman to run the 827 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats, doing roughly a marathon a day for 35 days straight.
