Here I am in my 50th year, so to mark this and Poppy Scotland's 100th birthday I have taken the pledge to raise £1921 for the beautiful work these guys do.  When I mentioned this, the #adventureharlots (Fi and Shirl) jumped at the chance to get involved, they will be a fabulous support and shall accompany me along the iconic #westhighlandway along with our driver Lorna aka 'Wheels McKendrick'.

The Scottish Poppy Appeal raises over £2 million each year. Poppyscotland was established in 1921 as The Earl Haig Fund Scotland but adopted their current name and logo in 2006 to reflect their revised fundraising activities andwelfare services work. In June 2011 Poppyscotland merged with their sister charity The Royal British Legion (TRBL), which operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to form the largest charity group supporting the Armed Forces community across the whole of the UK. Poppyscotland continue to operate as a distinct charity within the TRBL group of charities, relying entirely on public donations to allow us to continue our life-changing work.
