Loved-up runners tie the knot at Great Scottish Run

By Michael MacLeod

A RUNAWAY bride had a wedding day to remember after taking her groom and 20 guests on a gruelling 10KM run.

Anna Henley her husband to-be Robin McBride tied the knot at Edinburgh Castle just two hours after finishing the city’s Bupa Great Run.

They convinced their whole wedding party to join their run to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support after Anna’s brother-in-law Matthew died of cancer last year.

The happy couple were among over 10,000 runners pounding the streets of Edinburgh today (Sunday).

For the first time ever, The Queen gave permission for the race to pass through the forecourt of the Holyrood Palace at the foot of the Royal Mile.
