A kind-hearted ex-serviceman donated £5000 to a veterans’ charity after spending his summer bagpiping to raise funds.

Captain Bryan Warren, 82, entertained shoppers at Loch Lomond Shores to raise cash for the Erskine charity on behalf of the Vale of Leven Remembrance Association.

He said: “I want to thank all of the customers and staff at Lomond Shores for supporting this great cause.”
