Dozens of homes in an East Lothian village were evacuated after military bomb disposal experts were scrambled to secure historic explosives.
Residents in West Barns were ordered from their houses in the Edinburgh Road area following the discovery of ‘unexploded ordnance’ (UXO) on Tuesday afternoon.
Specialists from the Ministry of Defence’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams locked down parts of the village for several hours while the danger of the device to locals was fully assessed.
