The latest giant pumpkin to make headlines has been grown by twin brothers Ian and Stuart Paton.
The brothers hope to break records with their huge pumpkin which weighs 1,170kg.
One of the brothers, Stuart, told Sky News: "We have been growing pumpkins for about 50 years and trying to break the world record for about 50 years."
The two have been growing the current pumpkin for the past two years.
