A 20ft-long mystery boat has been abandoned in the middle of a residential street.

The white Islay Mist was left on its side with the trailer attached after coming loose from the vehicle towing it.

The incident happened at around 1.10pm on Tuesday on Bryans Road, Newtongrange, and the road was closed until the boat could be uplifted.

Police have now issued an appeal to trace the boat's owner.

The vehicle towing it was a red or maroon old-style vehicle, possibly a Jaguar.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101.
