SCOTLAND'S Black Watch soldiers will take part in a midnight marathon in Kenya to raise money for an orphanage near the base they are using for a training exercise.
The soldiers hope to raise £15,000 to build a classroom and library for the Nanyuki orphanage, north of Nairobi.

The event is being organised by David Anderson, padre for the 3rd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

He said: "The soldiers who have visited the orphanage have been touched by what they have seen and want to help improve the lives of children here."

As kind as this gesture is, should that money not be used for something useful in Scotland rather than be thrown into a bottomless pit?

Good to see the military doing something worthwhile. Go for it lads. And this objective is not a bottomless pit. Better invested in a Kenyan schoolroom and library than in certain banks closer to home.
