Hutters to stage fundraising hike

A COMMUNITY of hutters is to hold a hike along the original 10-mile trek from Faifley to their base in Carbeth.

The Carbeth Hutters, who survive without proper plumbing or mains electricity near Glasgow, are trying to raise £1.75 million to buy their site from the landowner.

The hike, which they hope will become an annual event, is designed to help with fundraising and will follow a route used by hutters in the 1940s to reach Carbeth, north of Milngavie.
