Scots residents were tonight left stunned when they spotted a meteor shooting through the sky. Astonished punters took to social media after spotting the “very large” fireball this evening.

One resident in Perthshire tweeted: “Just witnessed the long flash of light and sound of an explosion over Dunblane a few minutes ago. “I’ve seen meteors before and this was a much bigger and longer trail with a bang.

“It was in view long enough for me to unlock the door and then watch it head towards Calendar.” Another wrote online: “I’ve just spotted a meteor over Edinburgh, very large with green trail, anyone caught that?”
