Scotland's last remaining coal-fired power station is no more - bringing an end to the Longannet Power Station in Fife.
A controlled explosion was carried out earlier on Thursday which brought down the 600ft chimney.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pushed the button to blow up the chimney stack, which stood at Longannet for more than 50 years, and was once the country's tallest free standing structure.
Back in February the boiler room was demolished - leaving just the chimney - but with that now gone too, it marks the end of coal energy in Scotland.
Longannet itself closed and stopped operating back in 2016.
Dramatic footage from the scene in Kincardine shows smoke and dust billowing into the air and being blown across the Firth or Forth.
Residents across the water in Grangemouth and Skinflats reported hearing a massive bang, before witnessing a plume of smoke.
The site, which first opened in 1973, was Europe's biggest coal-fired power station and consumed around 4.5 million tonnes of coal a year.
Owned by Scottish Power, Longannet produced more power than any other site in the country.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "Today’s event is a symbolic reminder that we have ended coal-fired power generation in Scotland, as we work in a fair and just way towards becoming a Net Zero nation by 2045.
"Our goal is to generate 50% of overall energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030, and Scotland’s energy sector is well placed to deliver on the key investments in renewables, hydrogen and energy storage required to achieve this.
"Growth in these sectors over the next decade will be transformative for Scotland, delivering further good, green jobs, strengthened energy security, and benefits for local communities as we decarbonise industry and society to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, in a way that leaves no one behind."
Keith Anderson, Chief Executive, ScottishPower said: "At COP26 in Glasgow, we were proud to show the world that Scotland has already made coal history.
"As a 100% energy company, we are committed to helping the UK end its reliance on fossil fuels. For half a century, Longannet’s chimney has dominated the Firth of Forth skyline.
"We bade farewell to that landmark today – however this is a landmark day for Scotland too.
"Watching the chimney of Scotland’s last coal-fired station fall today represents a real milestone, as the UK moves away from the large polluting power stations of the past and accelerates down the road to net zero emissions."
