Aldi selling giant Scottish Kevin the Carrot wearing kilt and sporran this Christmas

Aldi is selling giant Kevin the Carrot toys this Christmas and he's had a Scottish makeover.

The supermarket's 2019 offering is a metre-tall Kevin who's wearing a traditional kilt and sporran.

Kevin's new look marks Aldi's 25th anniversary in Scotland partnership with Scottish charity, Kiltwalk.

The tartan used for the kilt is the official kiltwalk tartan.

Punters can get their hands on the massive vegetable-themed toy from Thursday, November 28, at a cost of £19.99.

Online pre-order launches on November 24.

Kevin the Carrot won the hearts of thousands of Scots last year, with families across the country collecting the whole carrot family over the festive season.

Richard Holloway, Aldi's regional managing director for Scotland said:   “Kevin the Carrot has built up a large and loyal fanbase, so we thought what better way to mark our 25th anniversary in Scotland and partnership with Kiltwalk than to give our customers the chance to buy their very own giant Kevin wearing Scotland’s national dress.

“I hope Kevin the Carrot’s makeover will bring a bit of festive joy to his many fans this Christmas.”

Aldi is donating £3,000 to Kiltwalk from the sale of selected products, and with demand expected to be high, sales of kilted Kevin the Carrot will be limited to two per customer.
