(Premier Christian News) A minister has run a marathon across two Scottish parishes, stopping to speak at three churches on the issue of mental health.
Rev James Bissett has plotted a 26.2 mile route across the Contin and Strathpeffer parishes, north-west of Inverness in the Highlands, to raise money for the Scottish Association for Mental Health.
Speaking before he set off, Rev Bissett said: “This is a big challenge for me because it is my first marathon and I am pretty unfit and about as far from an athlete as you can imagine.
