And it's damn near a given that no one else will ever drag a freakin' anvil up Goat Fell.

Thanks Fargon. Did you try what Bruce suggested?

Davy says he's gotta finish his task on Sunday because on on Monday he goes back to work. Apart from that, he says "Ah'm plannin' tae lay on the sofa an' eat cake fer a munth!".

The weedy guy next to him is the photographer, occasionally assisting with balancing the anvil on a plank.

He arrived at the top to be greeted by friends and family and the skirl of bagpipes.

The total raised so far on JustGiving is an incredible £11,500 or so - it keeps on going up, much like the big man himself.
As we say in these parts, "Gaun yersel' Davy!".

Got a bit of a bump in donations once he reached the summit, didn't he?

I even dropped a little in the bucket.

Should we contribute to paying the fine for littering the mountain top?

He's the bagpiper

Here's a newspaper article in The Scotsman (respectable national coverage for Scotland). And his JustGiving total is now over £12,100 (that's around 17,683.84 of your heathen money-chips).

That's awesome. Tell Davey: Now put that anvil up on that rock pedestal and go take a nap.
