Tom Hunter

We had 8,000 yesterday.

Sir Chris Hoy and Lady Sarah Hoy were there with Sir Tom Hunter leading us up.

It was amazing.

762 charities, it's raised 1.6 million.

well people who really care Scottish Power chief executive was there Keith Anderson and his wife Angela honestly people turned out something's happening marching towards 100 million so what do you do on it? Well, you can either walk 20 miles yesterday, you could walk 11, or you could walk four miles.

And everything you raise goes to the charity that you want.

So it's not Tom Hunter that chooses, it's you.

And if you walk for the kilt walk, all the money goes to...

And I, I think it was on, like, £2.21 an hour, and that was, you know, a massive step up from what I was on, the 18 pounds.

And across the way was Sports Division, which was Tom Hunter.

And I remember being fascinated by him because he always wore a baseball cap no matter what he was wearing.

He could be in a suit, shirt, and tie, but he'd always wear a baseball cap.

You want to say something? I just want to finish by saying one of the key things we need in Scotland is economic growth.

What have we been doing? What have I been doing about it through the Hunter Foundation? So one of the great successes we've had, and Ewan and Ken Whipp have come up with this, is Scale Up Scotland.

And we're looking to recruit in Scale Up Scotland 2.0.

These are the companies who are super ambitious, who are probably doing maybe about 10 million turnover just now, but they really want to knock it out of the park.

But most importantly, this group of between 10 and 12 business founders are going to learn from each other because the peer to peer support and learning that happens here is a secret sauce.

And this is going to move the dial in Scotland.

So if you think you're one of these founders, get onto the Hunter Foundation website.

You can apply now, start in January, and I'll see you down in Blair.

You're going to regret it.

Tom Hunter puts it really well when he says, try things, but fail quick and fail cheap.

So there's nothing wrong with trying and failing at it.

Use that as a learning experience.

And that's a diverted corporate opportunity.

So I ended up in the high court defending myself, except, um, The Scottish guys, one of the investors was a billionaire, a guy called Sir Tom Hunter.

The other guy was a millionaire, a guy called Chris Gorman.

They were fighting that case.
