Elizabeth O'Hara undertook all four Kiltwalk this year to raise funds.
A woman who woke up blind raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity in 2019.
Elizabeth O'Hara, from Penilee in Glasgow, lost her sight to diabetic retinopathy and other health conditions, literally waking one morning to discover she was blind.
A keen reader, Elizabeth has used RNIB Scotland’s Talking Books for the blind service since her sight loss.
The 50-year-old has now raised £33,500 for the service by completing all four of this year’s Kiltwalks.
Elizabeth persuaded friends, family and even complete strangers to join her on the walks, accompanied on all four by her guide dog Kiki.
"I literally woke up blind one morning," she said. "Right now, I can't see anything with my left eye and have a little residual vision in my right.
"RNIB helped me a great deal when I lost my sight. That's why I decided to do all four Kiltwalks this year to raise funds for Talking Books. I couldn't imagine not being able to read the same books that everyone else does."
The Kiltwalks, in Dundee, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, allow people to raise funds for charities and causes they care about, with all donations receiving a 40% top-up from the Hunter Foundation.
Suzanne McColl, fundraising manager for RNIB Scotland, praised Elizabeth's key role this year.
"Elizabeth was tireless in her efforts to engage with all four Kiltwalks this year," she said. "She organised, persuaded, inspired and accompanied people taking part in support of Talking Books. That, together, we've all been able to raise such a fantastic amount in total is in no small part thanks to her.”
Ms McColl also thanked companies including Shell Aberdeen, Aberdeen Standard Investments, the Department of Work and Pensions' Edinburgh office, Sainsbury's Bank and RBS Gogarburn for their support.
"Together, they have made a tremendous difference to the lives of people with sight loss,” she added.
Talking Books has been running for more than eight decades, and now offers people with sight loss access to 31,000 audiobooks on CD, USB stick or digital download. Anyone interested in the service can contact RNIB Scotland on 0303 123 9999.
