Armed police were sent to an Aberdeenshire farm after reports a tiger was on the loose, only to find it was a cuddly toy.
The farmer called Police Scotland to his land near Peterhead after spotting what he thought was a real tiger in his cow shed on Saturday night.
Officers checked with local wildlife parks and sent a number of units, including an armed response team, to the farm. It was eventually found that the tiger was, in fact, a large cuddly toy, and Police Scotland described it as a "false call made with genuine good intent".
