The World Porridge Making Championships 2011 have announced the winner.

John Boa, from Edinburgh, picked up the Golden Spurtle in Carrbridge in the Highlands.

Mr Boa's traditional porridge of oatmeal, water and salt beat competition from as far afield as California.

The Gaelic singer has twice cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats and carried oatmeal, salt and a spurtle to make his breakfast every day.
