There is an ongoing incident on Montrose Terrace today involving both the Scottish Ambulance Service and also Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
We were alerted to this by former councillor Stefan Tymkewycz who tweeted these photos to us:

It appears that a person has apparently fallen down a hatch inside a shop, presumably the florists’ shop in the photos, although that has not been confirmed.
There are now only four appliances in attendance in case the ambulance service need any assistance in rescuing the person involved.
Montrose Terrace is part of the diversion route which began today with the closure of the top part of Leith Street, so it is an area best avoided. Montrose Terrace is now one way up the hill towards Regent Road.
