Bruce, who moved into his cottage on the farm near Aberdeenshire three weeks ago, had invited pals round for a housewarming when the drama unfolded on a Saturday night. He had left his guests and girlfriend Amy while he popped to the shed to check on his 200 pregnant cows. He said: "I was on duty because the cows could drop at any time so I wasn't drinking. I flashed my torch in the shed and saw it sitting there. I was stone cold sober, drink had nothing to do with me thinking it was real."

The armed teams were stood down and Bruce eventually got back to his party — without the cuddly tiger, which cops wanted to keep as a "mascot". And they poked fun at the "roaring night" they had on Twitter. Inspector George Cordiner said: "Unusual as it may have seemed, any call reporting a potential danger to the public has to be taken seriously. "Efforts were made to verify the sighting as soon as possible, including making contact with the nearest wildlife park to make sure they did not have an escapee. "The incident was stood down once officers attended and established there was no threat to the public. We appreciate it was a false call made with good intent."
