Scots have been reacting to an 'apocalyptic-sounding' noise akin to an 'explosion' which was reported to have been heard overnight - with the 'frightening' racket causing concern to light-sleepers.
People were woken up by a 'huge bang' around 3am which could be heard in areas including Possilpark, Bishopbriggs and Cumbernauld on the outskirts of Glasgow.
It is unclear as to what triggered the disturbance, with police saying they were not aware of anything that may have caused an issue like this in the early hours of the morning.
