A police dog helped officers catch a drink driver who crashed and abandoned their car.
Officers were called to reports of an abandoned vehicle and the police canine tracked the scent for a mile before locating the driver, who subsequently failed a breath test.
An image from the scene shows the black car abonded at a roundabout with a stationary police car nearby.
Speaking on X, formerly known as Twitter, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "After Fergie and her handler were called to an abandoned crashed car, the pup got to work locating the driver.
"Fergie's expert nose tracked them for a mile, and once located, the driver failed a roadside breathalyser test."
