The Prince of Wales has written a letter of support to 90-year-old Margaret Payne, who is raising money for the NHS, Highlands Hospice and RNLI by climbing the height of Suilven on her staircase.
Mrs Payne has raised over £390,000 in the last two months.
With just 30 flights to go before she completes her goal, Charles – known in Scotland as the Duke of Rothesay – has sent a letter of support congratulating Mrs Payne.
In the letter, Prince Charles wrote: “My wife and I just wanted to add to what I suspect is a very large number of messages of support by saying how inspiring it has been to witness the huge success of your fundraising efforts.
Suilven, in the west of Sutherland in the Highlands, has an elevation of 731 metres.
Previously, Mrs Payne said: “I am completely overwhelmed and humbled by the generosity of everyone who has donated to this amazing cause.
“I would like to thank each and every one for their heart-warming messages of support and generous donations, which are providing greatly appreciated encouragement as I slowly but surely make my way up the mountain.
“I am very much looking forward to enjoying a good rest at the summit, and celebrating with my family and chosen charities.”
