In Pictures: Scarecrow competition

A scarecrow competition in the Stirlingshire village of Thornhill is now in its third year

There were more than 80 entries for the contest, which coincides with the local gala day

The winning scarecrow featured country singer Dolly Parton on a horse at Ballinton Farm

A smiling monster made of hay bales was also among the prize winners

Second place went to Piddler on the Roof, which featured a real stream of water

Some of the entrants came with their own protection against the elements

Dr Who's tardis made a visit for the contest, accompanied by a cyberman

Organisers are hoping to attract more than 100 entrants next year

Similar competitions are held in some English villages
