A Loganair flight was forced to make a mid-air diversion to Edinburgh Airport following a medical emergency.
Flight LM582 from Inverness to Birmingham took off just after 1pm and was flying over Peebles when a diversion to the Capital was forced after a passenger became ill on board.
A code 7700 was transmitted to air traffic control, signalling the need for an immediate touchdown.

They were met at the airport by emergency services, with the passenger being taken off by a sedan chair.
The airline added that the plane would continue onto Birmingham as soon as they were able to do so.
