A "frightened" runaway piglet was found "running wild" towards the Forth Road Bridge.

A lorry driver raised the alarm after spotting the commercial landrace piglet on the A90 near Dunfermline in Fife on December 1.

The piglet was seen weaving through cones on the outside lane, heading towards the Forth Road Bridge.

The Scottish SPCA are investigating and said the animal had no identification tag of any kind.

Chief inspector John Chisholm said: "The poor girl was found running about the road and was clearly frightened, she wouldn't keep still so it was very difficult to catch her.

"Thanks to the quick and decisive actions of the HGV driver the piglet was kept out of harm's way until I arrived.

"Had she escaped from a transporter then she should have been marked or tagged but she had no ID of any kind.

"Luckily she didn't have any injuries and is now safely at our Inverness centre and we're looking to give her a new home where she can spend the rest of her days."

Anyone who recognises the piglet is being asked to contact the Scottish SPCA's Inverness centre on 03000 999 999.
