A Scots daredevil bungee jumper has become one of the first people to dive off the highest footbridge in the world.

Callum Lewis, 25, got the once in a lifetime opportunity to bungee jump off the 260 metre-high Zhangiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge in China after helping set it up.

Although he admitted his mum thinks he is a "bit mental", he says it is the "best feeling in the world".

The jump site took four weeks to complete and on May 26 the thrill-seeker was allowed to trial the daunting jump.

The company Go! Bungy China hosted a freestyle bungee jump event that was broadcast live on Chinese TV.

The event attracted daredevils from across the globe, including the UK, Australia and Russia as well as Callum, who is originally from Perth.

The Zhangjiajie Grand Glass Bridge was finished in 2016 and stretches 430 metres between two cliffs in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

He said: "It's such a weird thing, it's like you have a lot of time to think during the first five to six seconds then after the cord stretches, you have about 14 seconds until it stops.

"I was quite happy and confident when I was asked to do it - a bit nervous to start with but it's the best feeling in the world.

"You get to see this view and sometimes, I don't know what it is, but you just look around and while you are falling you wonder when it will stop."

Despite no official opening date for the site, it will be the world's highest public bungee jump.

Callum, who has a certificate in outdoor adventure leadership, previously worked for Highland fling Bungee in Killicrankie.

When asked about the opportunity to take on the challenge of creating the jump, Callum said it was a chance he could not turn down.
