More than 1,300 runners succeeded in taking the official record for the largest kilt run in Perth on August 10. The Fair City failed to beat the unofficial world record of 1,757, which was set by its Canadian twin city. However Perth, Ontario, did not register their attempt with Guinness World Records and so its Scottish counterpart is set to take the title. Runners ranging from pensioners to those in pushchairs gathered on the North Inch to take on the 5k race. The more unusually-dressed racers included a Star Wars Stormtrooper, a 10-man Chinese Dragon and five different species of Scottish wildlife.
