A Scots flight to America has declared a mid-air emergency this afternoon.
The Delta Air Lines flight was travelling from Edinburgh to Boston when a 7700 squawk code was issued. The code signals an emergency onboard and the flight was quickly diverted to Shannon in Ireland.
The airline says the flight was diverted after experiencing a mechanical issue onboard. Images from flight tracker website flightrader24 showed the DAL123 airplane do a loop near Inveraray, before heading towards Ireland.
