After the walk, the pupils were treated to a guest performance from Beattie, who sang several of his popular hits, including Salamander Street and Heart Stops Beating.
One lucky girl was even invited on stage to join the musician in a song.
Beattie met with everyone who took part in the event, even going so far as to sign their yellow hats, which were sponsored by Scottish Confectionery company Tunnock's.
The walking event ended in a triumph, with Beattie rounding off his performance with a particularly appropriate rendition of The Proclaimer's smash hit I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).
