Simon and Bridget’s Scottish coastal walk to help Save Our Scotland

Inspired by the amazing Captain Tom Moore, Simon and Bridget hatched a plan to raise £100,000 for the Trust by walking 100km of the Berwickshire coast.

The couple’s route will take in some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery, including the breathtaking St Abb’s Head NNR.

Simon, who worked in fund management until his retirement 10 years ago, will be reaching out to friends, family and colleagues to help them meet their fundraising target.

Having been lucky enough to travel the world with his job, Simon and Bridget have seen many of the world’s most stunning sites, but their hearts are in Scotland.

Simon said: ‘One of the reasons we became Patrons of the Trust was because of our intense pride and passion for Scotland. There is simply nowhere as beautiful and with such a varied and exciting history and heritage, and Bridget and I knew we wanted to combine our fundraising with exploring what’s on our doorstep. This trek is allowing us to do just that and already we are discovering new areas which we’ve never come across before.’

Simon sadly passed away in August 2021. We thank him and his wife Bridget for their support for the Trust over many years.
