Scots woman confused after finding eight Americans in her front garden waving through window

A Scots woman was left perplexed after she randomly noticed eight people smiling at her through the window.

Lanna Tolland had been laying on the sofa in her Glasgow home on Wednesday night when she spotted them outside her front gate.

The strangers then approached her window and said that her home had belonged to their great-grandparents, Glasgow Live reports.

She explained in a now-viral Twitter post how she was "so confused" when she saw the group walk through the garden to the house.

Lanna then took a picture of them taking enjoying a late-night stroll around her garden and then shared details of the odd encounter.

She said: “No way. Lying on the couch with the blind still open and I see eight people I don’t know at the gate waving at me I’m like??

"Open the window and they’re all AMERICAN giving it 'our great grandparents used to own this house can we have a look around?'

"I thought this only happened on tele. They’re all getting pictures!! Dugs are going mental what is going on?”

After someone replied: "Nooooooooooooo deed hahaha," Lana responded: "Honestly was so confused man hahahahah."

The group told Lanna that their great-grandparents used to own her house (Lanna Tolland/Glasgow Live)

Others also replied to the social media post and shared their own similar experiences.

One user tweeted: "Nahhhh basically same thing happened to me last week. I’m howling."

Another person said: "I was staying overnight in a house in Manchester once and the next day the doorbell rang.

"Two Canadian ladies said they wanted to come in as it was where the Bee Gees grew up. They asked where the Blue Plaque was.

"Had to tell them it was now rented out to a load of students."

A third wrote: "Happened us on our cottage. His father was born there.

"A number of years later we dug up a War of independence/civil war era bomb his father had made.

"The army had to be called to blow it up."
