Kingsley Lamond, who is just seven years old, raised £1800 for Poppy Scotland
by climbing the highest mountain in Scotland in nine hours and 50 mins.
Her mum Emma said Kingsley, who attends Toronto Primary in Ladywell, wanted to take on the challenge to help Poppy Scotland as her great uncle was in the Marines and her great grandad was in the Navy. The proud mum said: “Last year we were coming home from the Commando Memorial in Spean Bridge which is a place very close to us and our family and she asked to climb Ben Nevis.
“We told her she couldn’t just park up and climb it, she would have to train, and that’s exactly what she did. She got all the gear and started her training on Dechmont Hill.“Unfortunately Kingsley didn’t get the chance to meet them but they would be so proud. “Kingsley also has a great great uncle Albert Lamond, who is 97 and a WW2 veteran having served in the Navy and part of the Arctic Convoy.
