Residents in a Galashiels street had a rude awakening on Sunday morning when a gust of wind blew a trampoline on to the roof of a house.

The garden feature smashed into a chimney stack after blowing on to the top of a property on Victoria Street, sending rubble crashing to the pavement and damaging a car parked below.

A specialist fire engine was drafted in from Edinburgh, 35 miles away, to attend the callout at the three-storey building.

Ian Macey, a local resident, posted a video online showing the taped-off area.

"You don't expect to see this on a Sunday morning!" he joked.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "A height appliance was sent from Edinburgh.

"The trampoline was removed and the incident was passed on to the local authority."

A spokesman for the Scottish Borders Council confirmed the building had been made safe.
