SNP MSP in final plea for support before scaling Africa's highest mountain for charity

SNP MSP Jim Fairlie has made one final call for support before he sets off to climb Africa’s tallest mountain to raise funds in memory of his late brother – top chef Andrew Fairlie.

Andrew, a renowned Scottish chef who owned Scotland’s only restaurant with two Michelin stars – the eponymously named Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, passed away in January 2019 after living with a brain tumour for 15 years.

Now the SNP politician, alongside a friend of Andrew’s, is emulating his late brother’s own climb of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
