Perthshire’s annual Birnam Highland Games took place this past Saturday, featuring track and field competitions and of course the World Haggis Eating Championship.
There was drama when former World Haggis Eating Champion Martin Bristow was disqualified from the event.
The cheers of the large crowd soon turned to jeers when officials adjudged that Bristow had raised his arm to indicate that he had finished while there was still a small scrap of haggis lying on his section of table.
The eventual winner of the world championship on Saturday was local man Alastair Ross from Birnam, a former butcher, in a fairly slow time of 1.52 mins, well outside the world record held by three times champion Lee Goodfellow.
