In the high winds we have experienced this weekend, a tree outside Drylaw Police Station became unsafe and had to be felled.
Luckily our chums at Live Edinburgh News were on hand to capture the drama on video.
A tree specialist was called in and the police station was closed for several hours until the work was complete.
