Shoppers were told to leave Dundee's Overgate Centre after water started pouring into the building at about 4pm yesterday.

Large hailstones, some the size of £1 coins, fell in a burst of bizarre weather over the city.

The downpour also caused flooding at Dundee Railway Station, on West Marketgait near the sheriff court and around the V&A Museum.
