The intrepid walkers were chasing the amber nectar around the Highlands for charity.

The men from the firm’s fire and safety team hoped to raise £4500 to buy a talking computer for cerebral palsy sufferer Greig Mcmurchie.

Greig (11) of Waverley Crescent, Grangemouth, was then a pupil at The Charles Brown Unit in Fallin, where a talking computer had changed his life.

Seven firemen and a medic from ICI Grangemouth headed north on the 80-mile, week-long trek round the Speyside distilleries.

Walk organiser George Macdonald said at the time: “It makes a change from the West Highland Way.”

Greig’s mum, Irene, said: “This is brilliant.”
