Some 'otterly' charming new residents have arrived at the Scottish Deer Centre. Staff at the centre near Cupar unveiled the latest attraction's growing menagerie of wildlife - a pair of otters - for the first time last Saturday.

The Asian, short-clawed otters will be housed in a new, specially-designed enclosure. One of the largest in Scotland, it has been created to replicate the animals' natural habitat and is equipped with heated accommodation, a waterfall, stream, long piles and bridges.

There is a large pool for foraging and a smaller one for teaching youngsters to swim. Staff are hopeful that the otters will breed and add to their numbers in the next few months.
