Invergordon’s very own superhero brothers are setting out to set a never-before seen world record.
Twice-champion of The World’s Strongest Man competition Tom Stoltman is heading to America in a bid to lift the same trophy for an unparallelled third time for a Scottish competitor.
Tom, 28, and older brother Luke, 38, are both on the ticket for the hotly-prized title, in South Carolina and fans are delighted at the news.
The event takes place at Myrtle Beach between April 19 and 23.

Tom and Luke have tried over the last year to bring part of their magi home to the Highlands, and have opened a merchandise shop in Invergordon town centre.
They have also appeared at many Highland events, and Tom has tried to support young people and children with autism – something he lives, and thrives, with himself.
