A couple made a lucky escape before their car was engulfed in flames at the side of a Scots road, leaving nothing but a melted shell behind. Emergency services rushed to Marykirk, Aberdeenshire, at around 2.12 pm on Sunday, 15 January, following reports that a BMW had caught fire.
One fire appliance was mobilised to the scene as firefighters battled to extinguish the blaze. There are not believed to be any injuries.
Images from the scene show the white BMW engulfed in flames just before the village's bridge. Later pictures show the burnt-out shell of the car, with the engine melted away.
