Small town is hot stuff as it claims chilli capital title

A small town in Dumfries & Galloway has declared itself the Chilli Capital of Scotland after the popularity of a local club gathered heat.

Now more than 1000 chilli plants and over 50 different international varieties are currently being grown by the people of Langholm.

More than 20 local businesses in the town have their chilli plants on display and a third of all households around 350 are growing their own.

By declaring the town the Chilli Capital of Scotland, the Langholm Chilli Club is hoping to attract more visitors.
