FORMER Miss Scotland Jennifer Reoch has a kilty secret – she has earned a place in the Guinness World Records.

The ex-model managed to smash the title for putting on the most kilts in under one minute.

Glasgow-born Jennifer got dressed in five kilts – one on top of the other – under strict observation from Guinness World Records editor Craig Glenday.

Last night Jennifer, 35, said: “I wore plenty of kilts when I was Miss Scotland – so all those quick changes from my days as a model definitely helped set me up nicely.”

And Dundee-born Craig – who has been at the helm of the famous reference book for the last 21 years – insists it was no easy feat for the Heart Breakfast co-host.

He says: “It was made all the more difficult because we insisted that every buckle had to be fastened properly, so it wasn’t just a case of pulling the kilts on.

“But Jennifer was very determined and you could tell that she was taking it really seriously to get as many on in the time that she did.”

Other Scottish records making it into the 70th anniversary edition include the Most Travelled Toy Ship.

Launched in September 2020 by Jax, Kai and Fynn Lewis from Trinidad and Tobago, in collaboration with Ollie, 14, and Harry Ferguson, 12, from Aberdeenshire, the toy, christened Adventure 2, covered 9,593.34 miles until November 21.

During her voyage the tiny vessel travelled from Guyana, sailed through the Caribbean Sea, into the Gulf of Mexico, up the east coast of the USA, then out into the Atlantic Ocean before its signal was lost.

While the Highest Ranking Penguin is Sir Nils Olav III from Edinburgh Zoo, who holds the rank of Major General of His Majesty the King’s Guard of Norway and Baron of Bouvet Island.

Sir Nils was bestowed with his Guinness record last August – making the list after being promoted from his previous rank of Brigadier.

James Baxter from Edinburgh also became the Oldest Man to Ski Solo and Unsupported to the South Pole when he made it to the bottom of Antarctica at the age of 64 years and 100 days.

The Scot trained for the 702-mile expedition, which took 61 days, by pulling car tyres along a beach and hiking with 30kg of bird seed in a rucksack.

And American climber Jamie Aarons earned the title of Fastest Solo Munro-Bagging when she climbed all 282 of Scotland’s 3,000-ft plus peaks in 31days, 10hr 27min between last summer, beating Donnie Campbell’s previous 2020 record by more than 12 hours.

Craig, 51, said: “No one else recognises all these incredible types of disciplines apart from Guinness World Records.

“We’re the ones that say, ‘Even if you’re not an Olympic athlete we were still treat your world record attempt just as seriously.’

“There are still so many records to be made and broken – they are there for anyone who wants to try, whatever their thing is.”
