East Lothian residents have been issued a warning after a little-known breed of venomous fish were spotted on the shoreline.
Beachgoers have been told to keep their eyes peeled as they walk across the sand this summer in order to avoid a nasty surprise.
Countryside rangers from East Lothian Council say they have heard reports of people being stung by the only venomous fish in UK waters, which can leave their victims in excruciating pain.
