Hundreds of young people will be given potentially life-saving cardiac screenings in Kirkcudbright this weekend.

Cardiac Risk for the Young (CRY) will be holding sessions in Kirkcudbright Academy, with everyone taking part receiving an ECG and a one-to-one consultation with a cardiologist. ‌

The screenings have been made possible by the David Hill Memorial Fund, which was set up after David died of an undiagnosed heart condition while playing rugby three years ago. ‌

Since then, the fund has raised more than £80,000, allowing 1,200 free cardiac screenings to be held across Dumfries and Galloway – with 200 taking place in Kirkcudbright across Saturday and Sunday.
