Only 100 spaces are available, and participants must be aged 12 and over, with parental permission required for under 18s.

Jim Watret, Erskine community fundraising manager, said: "The Erskine Veterans Village Firewalk is back after a two-year break, and places are filling up fast.

"We’re calling on courageous ‘soles’ to support the brilliant work Erskine does for veterans by taking on one of the most thrilling challenges out there.

"If you’re up for the adventure of walking barefoot across 15 feet of 1,200 degrees Farenheit hot coals, grab a spot now—spaces are limited, and we can’t wait to see you there."
