A sinkhole has appeared in a Perthshire town centre.
Part of Wellmeadow in Blairgowrie was shut down when a section of road outside the Cartwheel Inn caved in.
Engineers are being drafted in to carry out emergency repairs on the collapsed drain.
The incident was reported just after 6.30pm on Friday night. Diversions are in place.
A spokeswoman for the Cartwheel said: “The hole is covered up just now, so its hard to say how big it is, but it’s at least two feet across.
“It seems to be really deep. It just seems to have collapsed.
“There was a lot of police around the pub last night, making sure the place safe. No one has been hurt, thankfully, and we are able to open as usual.”
The area has been cordoned off and repairs are due to get under way on Monday.
