Controlled Explosion at Aberdeen Beach
An ordnance device washed up on Aberdeen beach has been destroyed in a controlled explosion.
The Beach Esplanade was closed by police as a precaution after officers were informed of the discovery at around 3.40pm on Sunday.
It was later fully reopened but a cordon remained on the beach and bomb disposal experts were called in this morning.
The discovery, thought to be a Second World War device, came just days after a sea mine was safely removed from the west coast near Glasgow
