Unfortunately they failed, attempting this record on the slopes of Cairn Gorm mountain. 180 people completed the 1.5 mile run from the top of Cairn Gorm but it was not enough to beat last year's record of 235 on the same slope.
About £900 was raised for cancer care and the local schools skiing programme
The skiers were led on to the slope by Badenoch pipe band.
Next year Cairn Gorm in Kilts will attempt the record again but apparently on the same day next year in the US ski resort of Wisp in Maryland, this record will also be attempted.
Too cold for me, wet kilt, wet bum, no way
Do you know who is organizing the attempt in Maryland? Wisp is not very far from my brother's home.
