Craig, from Paisley, is now setting out on yet another walking challenge - this time attempting to walk the length of Scotland, one year after his march to Munich. The football-daft lad wants to embark on the Scotland stride to celebrate next World Cup in North America. Craig said: 'Exactly one year on from my walk to Germany, I think it's time for a new challenge. 'With the World Cup fastly approaching next year and everyone hoping that Scotland qualifies, in the meantime, Im away for a little wander to keep myself busy.' He added: 'On June 14, I will start at the Mull of Galloway lighthouse, the most southerly point and make the near 400-mile journey to the most northerly point in mainland Scotland. 'I'll be walking the length of Scotland. 'As with last summer this will be raising vital funds and awareness for men's mental health and the charity of choice will again be Brothers In Arms.' Craig's first trek to Germany raised over £77,000 and he was made an official ambassador for the charity. He was even nominated for a FIFA Award for his monumental trek across Europe. Hero's welcome for inspirational Scotland fan who walked 1000 miles to Munich His trek to Germany was inspired by The Proclaimers hit song 500 miles. The young football fan gained so much attention that the musical duo even gave him a shout out. He received a hero's welcome after arriving in the German city, with Tartan Army fans gathering round to get him a well-deserved pint. Craig added: 'The journey will take me along iconic routes like the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way. I'll be passing some of Scotland's most famous landmarks, all leading to Dunnet Head — the northernmost point on the mainland.'
