Ruth Miller and her teenage daughter Tiegan have been donning amazing outfits every day since just after lockdown began to keep up spirits in their neighbourhood.

Ruth said: "We have walked 150 miles and met some lovely people on my way. I hope you have enjoyed the passed nine weeks as much as we have.

"Special mention goes out to Tiegan who has been my fancy dress partner and done such a fantstic job keeping me company on the walks.

"Thanks to my husband Kevin for being such a great sport.

"He said that, if we raised £600, he'd dress up as the Bearded Lady from the film The Greatest Showman.

"He kept that promise.

"Also thanks to my brother-in-law Jamie for also keeping his deal that if we reached £1200 he would join us on a walk too."

On their last walk Ruth dressed up as Cinderella, Tiegan became Prince Charming, while Kevin and Jamie were the Ugly Sisters.

Ruth added: "A massive thank you to the people of Southside who have come out every day and waved and joined in with the dressing up.

"Your donations have raised £655.50p for MFR cash for kids and another £655.50p for 1st Kinloss Scouts.

"It's been an amazing achievement for us as community. Keep smiling."

Ruth and Tiegan made many of their costumes themselves.
