EDINBURGH'S MoonWalk is set to move to another city after almost two decades in the capital.
Nina Barough CBE, founder of the MoonWalk, has said it is the “right time” for the event, which raises money to support people across Scotland with breast and other cancers, to move on.
Scotland’s MoonWalk has raised £22 million since the event was first staged in 2006.
The event usually starts and finishes at Holyrood Park with walkers taking to the route in decorated bras and bright lights, however, a new route is expected due to the park's road being closed.
This year’s event is set to take place on September 6.
Funds awarded by Walk the Walk make a huge difference to people across Scotland living with cancer. Recent grants have been made to the Beatson Cancer Charity, Ayrshire Cancer Support and Make 2nds Count.
Barough, who is also chief executive of Walk The Walk, said: “I think that the Moonwalk has always felt really important as an event in Scotland. It's actually been there for 19 years.
"Since Covid, as an organization, like many charities, we've had to review what we're doing and why we're doing it, and all of those sorts of questions.
“I think one of the things we felt was that it's impossible to comprehend, really, how much we have done in Scotland and how many people we've helped, directly and indirectly. And we just felt that it was now time to take it on tour to another city.”
She added: “It's a happy and a sad situation. This year will be a really super special celebration. So anybody that's had it on their bucket list, this is the time to do it, but it's also exciting going to a new city.”
