Aberdeenshire - A farmer has died after a sheepdog accidentally pinned him against a wall with a farm machine.
The man, named locally as Harry Emslie, 67, did not survive the freak accident at a farm at Clola near Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
The Daily Record reported that the dog was in the cab of a telescopic loader machine while the engine was still running and the handbrake off.
