SCOTS billionaire Sir Tom Hunter has pledged to help troubled charity venture The Kiltwalk.
The Hunter Foundation had agreed to provide financial backing for the organisation, which will host its annual Glasgow Kiltwalk on April 12.
Last month the founder and chief executive of the Kiltwalk, Carey McEvoy, announced he was leaving the organisation.
It came after a number of charities withdrew as official partners amid concerns about the amount of money they had received.
The Kiltwalk's Chairman Michael Ure said: "It's no secret The Kiltwalk has been through a tough couple of months, but we firmly believe that by working in partnership with The Hunter Foundation we will blossom into the amazing fundraising vehicle for Scotland's children's charities that we always intended to be."
