Highland Hospice staff have put together a collection of thank you messages for stair-climbing pensioner Margaret Payne.

The 90-year-old is on a mission to scale the equivalent height of one of Scotland's best known mountains – 2398ft high Suilven.

She has embarked on a two month fundraising challenge to climb the staircase at her home near Lairg 282 times.

After originally setting herself a target of raising £10,000 for the NHS and Highland Hospice, she has already generated more than £203,000.
