Local reports claim that the package was found in a car and that incident response teams were urging residents to stay away from the area.

An eyewitness told Bylines Scotland: “We were told that it was a suspicious package in a car and that it would be disposed of, they told us it was parked near our house and as a result we were told to stay away from the front of the property.”
