A silver BMW was found dangling precariously off the edge of a pier in Aberdeenshire.

The car was reported hanging off the edge of the stone pier at Buchanhaven in Peterhead at around 11.20pm on Monday.

No one had to be rescued from the vehicle, which was taken away in a recovery vehicle on Tuesday morning.

It remains unclear how it ended up with its left side over the edge.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "Police had received reports around 11.20pm of an unattended vehicle causing concern on the pier at Buchanhaven.

"Enquiries are ongoing into how the vehicle came to be at the pier."
