The current Keeper of Edinburgh Castle has lost a part of an antique pocket telescope after a sneaky seagull snatched and took off with it.
Alastair Bruce was packing his car at the historical capital attraction when the bird grasped the Royal Navy telescope's cap and flew off towards Esplanade.
The British journalist and historian took to Twitter for help tracking the missing part, assuming that the mischievous bird would have dropped it off somewhere in the neighbouring area after realising it was of little use.
