A warning has been issued about large loose boulders on melting snow on Lochnagar.

Aberdeen Mountain Rescue Team issued the warning about the "significantly-sized boulders" at the top of Black Spout, in Deeside.

Some are estimated to be well over 1m (3ft) wide.

The team said: "Clearly these will dislodge as the snow melts further. Be aware they may travel well beyond the base of Black Spout when they move."

The team's post added: "Please take this into consideration if you are in the area, even if you are not within Black Spout itself."
