Edinburgh Beatty Sea Cadet Unit have for many years been energetic fund raisers on behalf of the RNLI in Scotland.

Last year they undertook a sponsored boat pull in their ASC class dinghy along the full 22 miles of Loch Ness - and raised a splendid £850.

The unit drove to Inverness for an overnight stay and then rowed from Fort William to Drumnadrochit on Saturday, finishing the row on Sunday, somewhat tired and blistered but very pleased with their achievement..
