Scotland's Rural College has allowed one of its employees the use of a tractor as she trains for the upcoming event Scotland’s Strongest Woman.

Scottish strongwoman Kim Best borrowed the six-tonne tractor for strength training.

She has her sights on set on this year's Scotland’s Strongest Woman, which commences on 3 May in Motherwell.

The 26-year-old SRUC lab scientist from the Highlands is already a record-breaking strongwoman.

She recently broke the world record in the Yoke Walk, completing a 10-metre course with 350kg on her back in just 24.42 seconds.

Best was allowed the use of the tractor at SRUC's research farm.
