A forklift was used to carry the world's biggest bowl of porridge this month.

About 1,521lbs (690kg) of porridge was prepared at the Highland Games in Cupar, Fife, The Daily Express reported. Scott's Porage Oats contributed the oats and firefighters added water before the mixture was heated and cooked for several hours.

A forklift then transported the giant bowl for weighing by Guinness world record adjudicator Craig Glenday.

Enough to feed 2,000 people, it is four times the previous record set in Manchester last year.
