ROUND-the-world cyclist Mark Beaumont donned a kilt and got on his bike in a show of support for Yorkhill Children's Foundation.
Beaumont, who was treated for suspected appendicitis at Yorkhill Hospital when he was three, was joined by Glasgow youngsters Saul Loveman and Mollie-Ann Logue.
The adventurer fitted a new set of wheels to mark being the guest speaker at the dinner at the Hilton in Glasgow tomorrow night.
He will be joined by Hue & Cry, who will perform an acoustic set of some of their greatest hits.
Now in its sixth year, the Yorkhill Dinner is the flagship event in the fund-raising calendar for the charity. In the past the dinner has raised more than £350,000 towards the purchase of equipment and facilities, including Yorkhill's MediCinema, the first-ever cinema in a children's hospital in the UK. Last year's event raised a record £113,000.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
