Katherine Grainger among rowers to smash thousands of metres for Doddie charity
It was all hands on deck on a former Royal Yacht as seven teams of sports stars and athletes rowed hundreds of thousands of metres between them to raise money for Doddie Weir’s charity. Olympic gold medal winner Dame Katherine Grainger and former Scotland rugby captain Rob Wainwright were among the participants battling it out on rowing machines on board the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith on Saturday. The challenge, which was joined by several other teams virtually, was to see who could row the furthest between 10am and 1pm.
