A 'twister' was spotted last night in the sky over Glasgow University.
Musician Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian spotted the funnel cloud as ominous clouds rolled over the city.
He tweeted a picture of it and said: "‘Here comes the twister!’ Almost. Interesting weather over Glasgow Uni last night."
A twister, or tornado, is a funnel cloud which touches a cumulonimbus cloud at one end and the ground at the other.
As the cloud pictured does not appear to touch the ground, it can't be called a true twister.
But the Met Office did confirm that Stuart's picture showed cumulonimbus clouds and the type of funnel cloud that can go on to become a twister.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "That does look like a funnel cloud.
"It has the characteristic spindly cone shape and is dangling beneath the brooding base of what must be a cumulonimnbus cloud.
"Friday, October 18, saw a number of showers across the UK and many of these were heavy and produced by cumulonimbus clouds."
