A SKINNY-DIPPER has braved the cold to swim 100 lochs in a week.
Jackie Brown, 23, from Edinburgh, set off on her naked tour of Scotland a week ago, hoping to swim all the country's 138 lochs to raise money for breast cancer charities.
After suffering a number of setbacks she had to take some off her list, bu
t still managed an impressive 100. She slipped in Loch Ceo Glais, just outside Inverness, and badly cut her foot, but continued.
Ms Brown, who is originally from Australia, said: "I really want a pint but I'm on antibiotics, so I can't.
"I think I'm just going to go home and have a good wash and a cup of tea instead."
Despite the setbacks, which also included a bad cold throughout and being sick, she said the experience had been "fun".
She said: "The scenery has been just beautiful everywhere, absolutely breathtaking. I saw one of the most amazing sunsets just outside Inverness.
"In retrospect, it's just been so fun. If the disasters hadn't occurred, it wouldn't have been so memorable. We never planned on all those things going wrong."
"The plan was to do 138 lochs and if we hadn't been held up on several sessions, we would have been able to do all of them."
