A bus which departed Glasgow's Buchanan Street bus station burst in to flames just hours after leaving the city last night heading for Aberdeen.
Panicked passengers fled the vehicle on the A90 just outside Brechin, Angus at around 5pm after a fire was reported on the Megabus.
Emergency services sped to the scene to battle the inferno after those on board had been evacuated, reports the Daily Record.

"Operations Control mobilised three fire appliances and crews extinguished the fire.
"There were no reported casualties and firefighters left the scene once ensuring the area was made safe."
