A popular Highland deer has been put down after tourists fed him croissants, leading to severe dental decay. Callum, an Instagram-famous deer and a 'local legend' in Torridon, Scotland, developed health problems from the food given to him by hikers travelling along the scenic North 500 route.

Well-known to tourists at the Beinn Eighe car park, Callum was often fed 'treats' by well-meaning visitors.
