A man has been taken to hospital after falling from a window in Kirriemuir.

Emergency services descended on the town square just before 10am on Tuesday.

Two ambulances and several police vehicles were spotted near the Boots and Braes shops.

An air ambulance also landed in the playing fields at Webster’s High but the incident was not connected to the school.
