Smoke and flames have poured out of a manhole and into a Scots high street - forcing fire crews to close the road. Emergency services descended on the High Street in the Fife town of Leslie at around 11.35pm on Sunday.

Fire and smoke were seen spewing from the pavement due to what is believed to be a fault with an electrical box underground.
