       Photographer Linda Donnelly, 54, from Co Durham, said: “Funniest thing yet on this holiday.”

       The Scottish SPCA had warned members of the public not to feed the stags due to their unpredictable nature.

       Chief superintendent Mike Flynn said: “We would not recommend that anyone handfeed stags or any wild animal.

       “They are wild creatures and can be aggressive, especially during rutting, when they have young or feel threatened.

       “A stag does not have any concept of the size and strength of its own antlers and these can be dangerous.”
