PICTURES: Blister Sisters ball raises £40k for Highland Hospice

An amazing £40,000 was raised for Highland Hospice over the weekend thanks to a group of determined Highland women who are to trek the mountains of Croatia later this year.

The Blister Sisters are to set off on a five-day hike across the Istria peninsula in the north of the country on May 8.
