A number of residents have been evacuated from their homes after a section of a building collapsed in Perth.
A chimney stack and a section of brickwork on the gable end of the building on Friar Street came crashing down earlier this afternoon.
The falling debris smashed onto local residents' council bins, located below on a gated-off grassy area just next to the street itself.
A number of fire engines were reported arriving on the street just after noon, with part of the street cordoned off by police officers soon after.
Fire crews have deployed cherry picking equipment to help assess and address the collapse to try and make the area safe.
No injuries to pedestrians have been reported.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 12.10pm on Monday, January 17, police were called to the Friar Street area of Perth, following reports of a chimney collapsing.
"There were no injuries, but residents from a number of properties have been evacuated whilst safety checks are ongoing."
The PA has also approached the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for comment.
