A 101-year-old woman from southern Scotland has completed a zip wire challenge to raise funds for charity.
Margaret McConchie, of Laggan near Gatehouse of Fleet, travelled more than 800 metres (2,600ft) at about 30 metres (100ft) above the ground.
Her goal was to raise £1,919 - to match the year of her birth - for NHS Charities Together but she ended up raising more than £12,000.
She said the efforts of Capt Tom Moore had inspired her to take the challenge.
