Multi Vortex Tornado Near Edinburgh, Scotland - Sept. 6, 2022
A tornado was spotted ripping through fields in Midlothian as a weather warning for thunderstorms was issued for parts of the country.
Mark Pryde, a resident of the village of Roslin, spotted the natural marvel at around 3.15pm on Tuesday.
“It went dark very quickly at about 3.10pm, then a bit of thunder and very heavy rain,” he told STV News.
“About ten minutes later the rain stopped and the clouds started to drop really low and wispy – that’s when I started recording.”
He estimated the tornado tore through cow fields between Roslin and Loanhead at Linghill Farm, with heavy rain and “bits of thunder” all over the area.
