SCOTLAND’S finest strongmen are set to descend upon Jedburgh as they battle to be declared Scotland’s Strongest Man.

Jed Forest Rugby Football Club will host the event on Saturday, June 8.

Audiences will be able to watch competitors attempt five gruelling feats of strength as they bid for strongman glory and a place at the Channel 5 UK Strongest Man Final.

Competitors such as Paul ‘Bad Boy’ Benton and rising star Louis Jack will provide stern opposition for Kelso’s Celtic warrior, Jas Hastie.

Only 500 tickets are available, with prices starting at £10 for adults and £5 for children under 15.
