A Scots farm worker who 'saved his house from flooding' by building a wall of animal dung across his driveway has been blasted for potentially contaminating local water.
Tommy Cannon decided to improvise when heavy rain caused a stream to burst its banks and send water gushing down his street near Dumfries last week.
The 38-year-old claims he couldn't drive to town for sandbags so at around midday he used manure from work to 'save his home from being flooded'.
