Shameless Scots soldiers threw a boozy party at their barracks in Edinburgh despite the coronavirus lockdown.
The squaddies allowed at least two young women to sneak into the bash at the Redford Barracks on Colinton Road, as reported by Edinburgh Live.
The women shared Snapchat stories of the get-together, with one captioning their post "who wants to hate me for breaking the isolation rules?".
But furious social media users were quick to hit out at the group's antics after the selfie taken inside the barracks was shared on Twitter, with the party-goers branded "selfish".
Police Scotland were then tagged in the tweet, with cops now having the power to fine people for breaching the UK Government's lockdown rules.
An anonymous source from another regiment that is based at Redford Barracks told Edinburgh Live that the party was thrown by Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion - otherwise known as 5 SCOTS.
They said that news of the party on Wednesday night "spread like wildfire" at the barracks, and that the women entered the camp by a coded door at the back gate.
The young women who attended shared multiple pictures of the party on their Snapchat stories, including filming themselves walking around the barracks.
They also tagged themselves at the location so that people watching could see where they were. Other photos show the party-goers drinking in one of the soldier's rooms.
After the images were shared on Twitter and received negative comments, one of the women who attended the party - and who joked about breaking isolation rules to do so - took to Facebook to post an explanation.
She wrote: "Feel like I need to address the situation even though I probably shouldn't.
"I've seen plenty other people do the same as what I've done but no one ever shamed them?
"I get what I done was wrong but never would I ever thought that I wouldn't be putting folk at risk! Every single person that I was with have been in isolation for 3+ weeks so if there was gonna be something there it would have been seen by now.
"I wouldn't go out and do daft s*** if I knew it was gonna be a risk."
An Army spokesperson confirmed that they are investigating the incident and told Edinburgh Live: "Protecting the NHS and saving lives means staying at home, so clearly this incident shouldn’t have happened.
"It runs against the principles of military discipline and support to others, driving everything the Army is doing in Scotland and across the UK to give the NHS the best possible chance fighting COVID-19.
"We’ll take any appropriate action once the full facts have been examined."
