It is no secret that Scotland’s national game is football with virtually the whole country obsessed with the sport regardless of age or gender.
But it may come as a surprise to learn that even our wildlife is taking it upon themselves to try to get a hold of the beautiful game.
In a hilarious and bemusing video shared with Edinburgh Live, a black crow can be seen pecking at a football and seemingly being able to dribble successfully on the astroturf pitch at Hallhill Centre in Dunbar, East Lothian.

Demi Knox, 29, was walking on the morning of Sunday November 13, when she saw the bird that appeared to be trying to get the attention of national manager Steve Clarke.
On what she saw and captured, she said: “It happened on Sunday morning, I was walking past and noticed the ball moving so I looked closer and noticed the crow hitting the ball with its beak!”
With the close ball control on show, it looks as though the crow would be a steal playing down the wing for any of the three Edinburgh clubs.
Although that being said, the high winds that East Lothian was experiencing could have been helping the small crow to move the ball across the pitch.
