MODELS Stephanie Watters and Diane Primrose braved the elements on Calton Hill with a couple of dalmatian pups to promote the plight of Scots who find themselves living in broadband "blackspots".

The glamorous handlers walked their dogs on the Edinburgh landmark as they helped to launch a new Scottish Government campaign which aims to encourage people to register for broadband.

The drive has been set up in a bid to get "out of reach" home users and businesses in blackspots across the country to register their details for broadband services before the cut-off date of January 18.
