Scotland’s iconic night-time fundraising event, The MoonWalk Scotland, lit up Edinburgh for the final time last night (Saturday 6 September).
Hundreds of women, men and young people wearing brightly decorated bras or colourful “bra t-shirts” set off from Holyrood Park at 10.30pm, to walk a half or full marathon through the capital, to raise money for breast and other cancers.
Glittering light installations showed MoonWalkers the way, with iconic buildings across the Edinburgh skyline also lit up pink in their honour, including: Edinburgh Castle, Camera Obscura, Lloyds on the Mound, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Radisson Blu Hotel, the Balmoral Hotel, and the Stamp Office. Many walkers also took on a walking challenge virtually, in their own areas.
Organised by breast cancer charity Walk the Walk, Scotland’s MoonWalk has raised an incredible £22 million since it was first staged in 2006. After 19 years, The MoonWalk will now be going on tour to another city.
