Skiers in kilts set new record

Hundreds of kilt-wearing skiers and snowboarders have set a new world record.
Some 235 snowboarders and skiers took part in the record bid from the Ptarmigan Top Station on CairnGorm Mountain, near Aviemore.
They have set a new record for the most people in kilts to go down a piste.
Money raised from the event will be donated to charity and a schools skiing programme.
Organisers described the event as a “fantastic spectacle” as the group crossed the finish line to the sound of two pipers and a drummer.
CairnGorm Mountain spokesman Colin Kirkwood said they wanted to something to celebrate the great ski season they were seeing.
According to Ski-Scotland, is it the best ski season the country has seen since 2001 with even more snow forecast, meaning the season could last through to May.
Mr Kirkwood said: “We’re delighted, it was a little cloudy overhead but it was a fantastic spectacle and people really enjoyed taking part.”
