A tornado was spotted in Scotland as heavy rain and thunderstorms swept parts of the country.
People in Midlothian were surprised to see the unusual weather event on Tuesday afternoon.
A Met Office yellow warning of thunderstorms was in force until 11pm on Tuesday for much of central, eastern and north eastern Scotland.
The Met Office said the tornado was a waterspout, a type of tornado that forms over open water.
Never seen anything like it. It went right by our house. The video doesnt capture how intense it was. #Midlothian #Scotland #tornado pic.twitter.com/P8YpKdiVSu
