On Saturday (11/10/14), The Queens Arms in Inverbervie held a sponsored walk in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support.
The Queen's have been avid fundraisers over the past few years, always connecting their events to local people.
This year, owners Catriona Bennett and daughter Amanda Macpherson decided to hold a sponsored walk from Inverbervie to Johnshaven, a distance of just over 8 miles.
There were twelve participants - or thirteen if you count the four-legged walkers - and they raised just under £900. Altogether, they have around £1300 to donate to MacMillan Cancer Support.

This years' event was in memory of Mrs Lorna Beattie who sadly passed away from bowel cancer last year.
Catriona Bennett, owner of The Queens Arms, said: "Her husband and two sons are very much part of the pub and are all members of our darts team. In the past we've raised money for Grampian Society for the Blind, Asthma Research Aberdeen, SANDS (stillbirth and neonatal death) among others.
This is the first sponsored walk they have held, having held a sponsored cycle before, as well as football matches and ordinary games.
"I think all in all we have raised around £17,000 for various charities and all the money is given for causes in our area."
