Several America tourists took part in an epic tug of war battle with a local team of Scots during the Highland Games in Perthshire, Scotland.

After the local team were left without competition as no other teams turned up, a bunch of American tourists stepped up.

The footage filmed in July 2018 shows the Americans, without proper footwear, holding their own against the well-drilled Scots.

The locals eventually managed to win the game 2-1 after the US team pegged them back.
