A counsellor from Aberdeen is gearing up to walk 50km along the Great Wall of China next month to raise funds for Childline.

Gemma Cutler , 22, has volunteered with the charity for over two years. She will join a group of 18 fellow fundraisers on the epic challenge.

Dubbing themselves the ‘Tartan Trailblazer’, the group will set off in late September and will walk 10km on five consecutive days along the iconic site, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
