A Scotland fan has raised nearly £2000 for charity by walking 106 miles during a trip to the United States.
Lorna Robertson, from Crookston, completed the Stride the Clyde challenge with her family while visiting America for the World Cup.
The challenge was completed in support of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, a cause close to the family’s heart after Lorna’s niece, Mila, suffered a neonatal stroke shortly after birth.
During Mila’s time in NICU, the family accessed several charity-funded services that helped them remain close to Mila during an “incredibly difficult time”.

Lorna said: "We wanted to give something back to the ward that helped our family when we needed it most.
"The amazing team provided outstanding care and support to our family during an incredibly difficult time.
"We will forever be grateful for what they did for Mila.
"The children’s hospital has played a big part in Mila’s life so far and will continue to do so."
Lorna started the charity’s walking challenge in Providence where she was part of the Tartan Army who donated to the Hasbro children’s hospital in the area.
This donation inspired the community in Providence to raise more than $12,000 for the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
Describing the experience, Lorna said: "It was great doing Stride the Clyde over there; it was a change of scenery and lovely to see the community coming together for great causes."
Lorna and her family have now raised more than £5000 for the charity through activities including climbing Conic Hill and completing the Glasgow Kiltwalk.
They have already signed up for the Edinburgh Kiltwalk and have also signed up to take on the Great Scottish Run in October.
Lorna said: "We’re so grateful to everyone who has sponsored us as without them we wouldn’t have been able to raise as much as we have so far."

Kirsten Watson, chief executive of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, praised the family’s efforts.
She said: "We are so thankful for the support from Lorna and her family.
"It is wonderful to see how our supporters celebrated the charity during a fantastic summer of sport, and to see them taking on Stride the Clyde in so many different places.
"Their generosity is vital in ensuring we can continue to support children like Mila who are being treated in Scotland’s busiest children’s hospital."
Kirsten also expressed her appreciation for the charity's new connection with the city of Providence.
She said: "Our budding friendship with the wonderful city of Providence and their generous community further highlights the lasting legacy established by the World Cup.
"We look forward to seeing how it continues to flourish."
