Scaling new heights

The imposing Cairngorm mountain yesterday formed the backdrop for a rather different sporting challenge to the one most commonly associated with the country's premier skiing venue.

Three of Scotland's European Challenge Tour golfers, James Byrne, David Law and Michael Stewart, were joined by the Englishman Eddie Pepperell and Michael Lorenzo-Vera, of France, in scaling new heights when they hit the highest golf shots recorded in the UK, from 1097m above sea level.
