A vintage car found torched and abandoned near a Glasgow beauty spot has sparked mystery.
Images show the car, though to be a Ford Escort or Ford Sierra from the late 80s, burnt to a scorched shell with only the destroyed front seats and steering wheel left behind in the blaze.
The Daily Record reports that vintage Fords can fetch anything from modest sums of £6,995 up to anything in excess of £40,000.

The destroyed vehicle was reported to Glasgow City Council on Monday (October 10) after being found at the entrance to Dawsholm Park and close to Dawsholm Recycling Centre in the city's west end.
The council made the decision to slap a warning notice on the car informing the owner that it will be uplifted if it isn't moved - despite the car having no tyres or wheels.
Glasgow City Council say the incident was reported to Police Scotland but the force was unable to provide a statement. Local authority bosses say they will have the car uplifted shortly, but the search continues to find the owner.
It is unclear how the car caught fire.
A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: "The burnt out vehicle was reported to us on October 10 and the removal notice was placed on the vehicle on the 11th. "
They added: "We do not have the power to remove burnt out vehicles immediately and have to wait at least 24 hours from posting a removal notice before any such vehicle can be taken away. Police are aware of the incident."
