Alpacas really were helping St Andrews students unfurl exam stress.
A herd of the super-soft camelids roamed the lawn of St Salvator’s Hall and for a donation students were able to have a cuddle.
Alpacas, native to South America, are renowned for their luxurious coats and students were able to take a break from exams, chill out with the beasts and snap an unusual selfie.
The fundraising event was arranged by a team of students who are to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in June next year, in aid of Childreach International.
Animals were brought in by Bowbridge Alpacas, based in nearby Peat Inn, who had staff on hand to ensure they were not overwhelmed by the attention.
