Uncle of Scots toddler who died after swallowing battery to scale Ben Nevis in tribute

The devastated uncle of a toddler who tragically died after swallowing a battery will scale Ben Nevis in his efforts to raise awareness of the lethal dangers that button cells pose to kids.

James McMahon, from Lochgilphead in Argyll and Bute, will don a Spiderman costume when he takes on the 1,345-metre climb in July in memory of his nephew, Hughie.

The 30-year-old and his family were left heartbroken when 17-month-old Hughie passed away on Boxing Day last year.
