Murray Trail has taken a giant leap with his business - and he is hoping his customers will take an even bigger one.
Trail, formerly of Wellington, is behind the UK's first bridge bungy jump, at the Pass of Killiecrankie in Scotland.
The 45-year-old said it had cost his company,
Highland Fling, almost $400,000 over more than four years to get the project off the ground.
" It's been a long road and I kept going till I got the answer I wanted."
People will pay about $130 to plummet 40m into the gorge.
The location is near the site of a battle between Jacobites and government troops in July 1689. A fleeing government trooper escaped the massacre by jumping more than 5m across the gorge to escape his pursuers. The site is still known as Soldier's Leap.
Trail, whose first bungy jump was as a teenager, has been a jump master at Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa, the world's highest commercial bungy bridge operation.
