They will ride for up to nine hours a day, traversing mountain trails, rural villages, and the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, before finishing at the Ngorongoro Crater National Park.
As well as supporting the 'Bikes Against Bombs' initiative, Mr Rowan is keen to use the ride to raise money for Dunns' Scottish charity partners.
Mr Rowan, who has been with the firm since 1989, said: "Taking part in this challenge reflects the values we hold as a company.
"I wanted to mark the 150th milestone by doing something that makes a real difference to the lives of others.
"It's a privilege to ride in support of these causes, and it's been a privilege to spend so much of my working life as part of this company.
"It's going to be incredibly tough, but it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'm hoping through the generosity of sponsors will make a meaningful impact to the two Dunns' charities."
Founded in 1875, Dunns is one of Scotland's longest-established wholesalers.
The company has announced plans for future growth while maintaining its commitment to community and charity efforts.
Julie Dunn, managing director, said: "The whole team is behind Jim and incredibly proud of what he's doing.
"Charity and community have been central to Dunns since day one, and I couldn't think of a better way to mark our 150th anniversary celebrations."

From Hong Kong to Kirkcaldy: Meet Scotland's new Street Food Champions
Minor condiment crises aside, Cheung is in high spirits following a weekend which saw her and business partner/fiancé, Rick Tai, come out on top when competing against fellow street food chefs from across the country. 'I'm still feeling quite emotional about it all,' she continues. 'I had been so nervous ever since first sending our application, and when we found out we were finalists while working a pop-up on Leith Walk, I was just jumping up and down on the street for what felt like five whole minutes. 'When we got there for the competition weekend, there were so many amazing traders with all of this professional equipment – one of them had a fridge that looked like my closet at home. 'We tried so much food and the finalists were all fantastic, but I was nervous because we come from a different culture and don't have as much market experience. 'When they announced we had won, I cried straight away.' Read more: Though they are relative newcomers to the Scottish street food scene, this Perth-based couple previously achieved success in Hong Kong, where in 2016 they founded a permanent Smoked Tamago shop serving a signature dish of Tamagoyaki. These traditional Japanese-style egg rolls wowed judges at last weekend's awards and ultimately secured their win, but Cheung admits to having some initial doubts over whether their menu would catch on in a new country. 'We moved to Scotland around four years ago, which was a really difficult time because of Covid', she explains. 'We both had other jobs, but always knew that we wanted to start our food business again. "It was only late last year that we found the courage to say, 'ok, let's do it'. 'We had a takeaway in Kirkcaldy at the beginning, but then realised that we needed to be meeting people face to face so that we could properly explain our signature dish because it's not very common in Scotland. 'That's why we started doing markets and have stuck with it since.' Pictured: Vincci Cheung and Rick Tai celebrate their win (Image: Supplied) Adapting their business to suit market events proved to be the key to Smoked Tamago's new venture in Scotland, with the team able to 'test the water' before getting in too deep. It also allowed them to reinvent their menu of contemporary Japanese-Korean dishes weekly to include the likes of Tteobokki, Takoyaki, and Japchae. 'The markets in Scotland really did make everything possible for us, because back in Hong Kong, opening a shop was a huge investment 'The city is tiny, the rent is crazy, and the housing prices are terrible. 'But here, we realised that we could try things out in a new environment without having to give up our full-time jobs. 'After a while, we started to feel like people were really loving our food, and I decided that I should probably just go for it.' Pictured: The Smoked Tamago team and British Street Food Awards Champions, Choola (Image: Supplied) Working markets around Scotland also introduced Cheung and Kai to fellow talented vendors like husband-and-wife team Nicole and Ameer Limbu of Choola, who took home the British Street Food Award Champion Title in 2023. 'We owe a big thanks to Choola for being so supportive of us right from the start,' the street food chef says of their first encounter at The Pitt in Edinburgh. 'I had just put in my application for Street Food Awards, and they were able to share so much of their experience with us. 'From then on, any time I had a question, they were happy to answer it and even helped us to pack up all of our stuff after the competition last weekend when we were totally exhausted." With a busy summer schedule ahead, there's little time for Smoked Tamago to stop and celebrate their Street Food Award win before moving on to the next stage of the competition in London this September. There, alongside Scottish People's Choice Award winners, Fire Bowl, they will serve up Tamagoyaki once again in the hopes of advancing to the European final in Munich. Pictured: A selection of contemporary Japanese-Korean dishes from Smoked Tamago (Image: Supplied) Proud to have made it to this stage, Cheung concludes: 'We are just one couple from Hong Kong, but there are actually a lot of people from the city in Scotland right now "Many of them will have been working just as hard, but might not be able to get back into the same industry as they were in before. 'It's difficult to start a new life or business somewhere new, and we're not the only ones trying. 'We just happen to be lucky enough that our hard work has been seen.' You can find Smoked Tamago at the Errol Sunday Market and at the Leith Walk Police Box on Tuesdays. For further updates, follow them on social media @smoked_tamago.

Book shows incredible new images of Glasgow from above
Architect Rosalie Menon and photographer Alistair Leith have documented Glasgow's urban transformation since the year 2000 in their book, Glasgow From Above. The 250-page book is filled with drone imagery and architectural commentary, providing a fresh viewpoint on the city's evolution juxtaposed with its Victorian roots and post-industrial legacy. Alistair Leith and Rosalie Menon (Image: Alistair Leith) Ms Menon and Mr Leith, who both grew up in Glasgow and reconnected in 2024, used drone photography to capture the city centre and 20 surrounding neighbourhoods. Ms Menon, a senior academic at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, said: "From an aerial perspective, you begin to understand the city's patterns—its connections, its growth, and its complexity.

As governments across the globe grapple with the most dangerous international landscape in a generation, John Swinney is under pressure to allow the SNP to have its first proper debate on where it stands on defence in more than a decade. The alternative risk is of his party 'falling behind' and Scotland potentially missing out on crucial investment. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The defence, aerospace and security industry is estimated to be worth around £3.2 billion to Scotland. The Ministry of Defence spends more than £2bn each year with Scottish industry. The forward section of Type 26 Frigate HMS Cardiff is rolled out from the SBOH at BAE Systems Shipyard in Govan, Scotland. Picture: John Linton/BAE Systems/Royal Navy | John Linton Despite conflict still raging on the European continent and the situation in the Middle East still resulting in lives, including children, being lost every day, the SNP has not had a proper debate about where it stands on defence policy since 2012. Instead a position to block investments perceived to be linked to munitions and an unassailable opposition to the Trident nuclear weapons system, located on the Clyde, are the SNP's flagship defence policies. UK to boost defence spending With Sir Keir Starmer's UK government committing to spend 5 per cent of its GDP on defence by 2035, the SNP has come under intense pressure to shift its long-held opposition to spending public funds on the 'manufacture of weapons or munitions', with a perception Scottish ministers are turning their back on the wider defence industry. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It is understood Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, who also holds the economy brief, is keen for a rethink on her government's and her party's position. The Prime Minister visited the BAE shipyard in Govan earlier this month to announce his strategic defence review, with an ambition to 'build a fighting force that is more integrated, more ready, more lethal than ever' and 'innovate and accelerate innovation to a wartime pace'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer speaks during a visit to BAE Systems in Govan, Glasgow, to launch the strategic defence review. Picture: Andy Buchanan/PA Wire Sir Keir also stressed he was 'using this moment to drive jobs and investment', including six new munitions factories and 1,000 new jobs. The Faslane submarine facility on the Clyde will receive £250m of investment as part of a UK government boost announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves's spending review. Row over welding investment Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Last month, it emerged the economic development agency, Scottish Enterprise, refused to support plans for a new specialist welding centre over fears it could be used to support the building of Royal Navy submarines. Ferguson Marine, which SNP ministers nationalised in 2019, has taken on contracts to construct Royal Navy vessels. The Scottish National Investment Bank, set up by SNP ministers in 2020, 'does not invest in organisations that are primarily engaged in the manufacture of munitions or weapons'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Former SNP MP Stewart McDonald, who spent almost five years as the party's defence spokesperson at Westminster from 2017 to 2022, has warned 'the party needs to have a defence debate again'. Speaking to The Scotsman, he said: 'It hasn't had a proper defence debate since 2012 when we changed the policy on Nato. 'All of this is moving at such pace. The entire international picture is moving at such a rapid pace and if we are a party that seeks to be an independent state - and an independent state in Nato and the EU - then we should have stuff to say on this.' Former SNP defence spokesperson Stewart McDonald Mr McDonald warned 'there is a risk the party falls behind in that debate'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He said: 'That's a debate that is going on in capitals all across Europe. And although Edinburgh is not a state capital, the Scottish Government has a role to play as a domestic partner. SNP's 'awkward' defence stance 'We have an industry in Scotland worth many billions of pounds, employs somewhere between 33,000 and 35,000 people and it has a very awkward relationship with the Scottish Government - it has done so for a very long time.' Mr McDonald has suggested Mr Swinney should gather the major and smaller defence employers in Scotland, 'get the defence procurement minister up from London and say 'how do I marshal the resources of the government, spending, policy, legislative, to better support this industry?'.' READ MORE: BAE Systems funding provides 300 jobs boost for Scottish shipyards Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The former SNP MP added: 'At a time of heightened international conflict, Scotland's defence industry has a part to play. 'I understand there's a bit of political balancing to be done here, but I think that can be over-thought and over-egged. We do live in much more dangerous times and there's a risk we are just saying the same stuff we've been saying for a long time - and that just would not be credible to stand still politically as the entire world changes around you.' Mr McDonald branded the Scottish Enterprise ban on investments relating to munitions 'a stupid policy' and hit out at the restrictions in place for the Scottish National Investment Bank. He said: 'Defence is the one industry that has enormous growth happening in it right now and that's not likely to end time soon. So why should our National Investment Bank not invest in it? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's entirely normal in every other country in Europe or the world for your national institutions to support your national interests, including your national security interests. So why is the Scottish National Investment Bank not doing that? I think that's mad.' Vanguard-class submarine HMS Vigilant, one of the UK's four nuclear warhead-carrying submarines, at HM Naval Base Clyde at Faslane | PA Asked whether the SNP needs to revisit whether it opposes Trident, Mr McDonald warned opening up that debate 'would just be self-indulgent' and 'would just say the same thing it's always said'. He said: 'I think it could better focus its attention on other parts of the defence discussion. The reality is it can't move Trident off the Clyde. 'There are areas they can focus on and have genuine positive consequences - working with industry around development of skills. The defence industry really felt that after Brexit.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Labour Glasgow MSP Paul Sweeney, who before entering politics was an arm reservist and Clyde shipbuilder, has branded the SNP's position "really frustrating'. Mr Sweeney first came up against a brick wall trying to encourage Rolls Royce to use Scotland to manufacture small modular nuclear reactors. There was opposition to such a move, even if the reactors weren't being used in Scotland where there is a de-facto ban on nuclear power stations being built due to the SNP's hostility to the technology. 'Bizarre' SNP position Mr Sweeney acknowledged the Scottish Government had previously supported defence industries in Scotland. But he has been left aghast at the decision to block investment in the welding facility. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He said: 'I found the decision of Scottish Enterprise to indicate to Rolls Royce that they would not be able to support grant funding for the naval welding facility extremely bizarre. Labour MSP Paul Sweeney | Supplied 'It's clearly on the back of pressure over comments made by the former first minister Humza Yousaf. There was a recent debate at the Scottish Parliament by the Greens on this stuff.' Mr Sweeney added: 'It's a misnomer to conflate foreign policy issues with domestic security and defence requirements. 'There is a logical absurdity of suggesting that this is about defence exports to unsavoury regimes, when it's primarily about our domestic national security and defence in the context of a pretty fraught geopolitical situation. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I find the context of this somewhat delusional and frustrating. I think it's fair to say there's certainly a split within the SNP about this.' The MSP insisted that BAE Systems on the Clyde, where he previously worked, 'has no involvement with any regime suspected of human rights abuses', adding 'there's no association with the Israel-Palestine issue'. Protesters form a blockade outside BAE Systems in Govan Picture: Jane Barlow/PA Wire Mr Sweeney said: 'They do not issue vessels for export to those territories - they never have. There is no obvious connection. 'It's also deeply reckless rhetoric in the context of the need to expand the Royal Navy and expand our domestic shipbuilding programme.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Glasgow MSP warned the Scottish Government's opposition 'creates a problem for investment in Scotland that doesn't exist anywhere else in the UK'. He said: 'There's a nervousness about Scotland - there's a more volatile risk of being caught on the horns of a political argument.' Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Jamie Greene has penned a letter to the Deputy First Minister, Ms Forbes, insisting 'the Scottish Government must also play its part in realising that economic potential' of the defence sector. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes | PA He added: 'That means creating the right environment for jobs and investment as well as tackling obstacles that could otherwise dampen those opportunities. At the moment there are worrying gaps in Scotland's skills pipeline.' Norwegian potential Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad BAE Systems are building Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy including HMS Belfast and HMS Birmingham in Govan. More investment could be on its way to the Govan shipyard, with the Norwegian government reportedly keen to purchase Type 26 frigates. Defence Secretary John Healey has told MPs he has 'been working hard to persuade the Norwegians' about taking on the frigates. In response to parliamentary questions, Ms Forbes, in an apparent acknowledgment of the benefits to the economy, has stressed the 'potential industrial and employment opportunities for Scotland are significant' if Norway does press ahead with Clyde-built frigates. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad She said: 'Officials from the UK and Scottish governments have held constructive informal discussions around how the bid might be best supported.' A Scottish Government source suggested SNP ministers 'want to move on it', but are wrestling with how to 'manage it within the party'. The insider added: 'Some people find it exasperating and peculiar. It's just a bit out of place now in the new reality we are in.' When the Scottish Enterprise row emerged earlier this month, Mr Swinney told journalists he was sticking to his guns. He said: 'We have a policy position on the use of Scottish public expenditure for the manufacture of munitions. We apply that consistently and that remains the Government's position.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But speaking on the Holyrood Sources podcast this week, he opened the door to a change of heart, stating that 'issues can be reconsidered'.
