Three Scottish brothers have set an astonishing world record after rowing a whopping 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a record-setting 35 days, nine hours, and nine minutes.

The MacLean siblings, from Edinburgh, yesterday completed the epic journey from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Nelson's Harbour in Antigua in the Caribbean.

Brothers Ewan, 27, Jamie, 26, and Lachlan, 21, embarked upon the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the 'world's toughest row', on December 12.

The MacLeans rowed across shark-infested waters, up to 40ft waves, heavy storms, and busy shipping lanes, completing 1.5m strokes by rowing for two hours and resting for one.

Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge: 'The World's Toughest Row'

Known as the 'world's toughest row', the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is one of the most demanding endurance events on the planet.

The courageous souls who dare brave the challenge are put to their physical and mental limits, as they complete 1.5million stokes in blistering temperatures across shark-infested waters and busy shipping lanes.

According to the MacLeans, more people have been into space or climbed Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic.

That is what happens when you don't have any problems to deal with, you will be searching for new challenges to conquer. Kudos to them.
