Council bosses have launched an investigation after a bin lorry burst into flames.
Its crew, who were collecting rubbish in Perth city centre, escaped unhurt and looked on as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service put out the flames which engulfed their vehicle on Wednesday morning.
The lorry had been parked up on the cobbles between St John’s Kirk and Perth City Hall when the blaze broke out and the workers were able to stand clear until firefighters arrived.
