The annual world porridge championships saw competitors from 14 different nations descend on the Scottish Highlands vying to take home the crown.

On the back of film fame, the Golden Spurtle porridge-making championships returned to the village of Carrbridge for its 32nd year with a record number of entries from around the globe.

Contestants, from as far afield as USA, Australia, Pakistan, Finland, Turkey, Estonia and Canada, were required to prepare a traditional porridge using just oatmeal, water, and salt.

The event's notoriety has only been heightened by the release of the hit Golden Spurtle movie, which tells the story of the quirky annual competition.

Premiering at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, the movie was released in UK cinemas earlier this year.
