Man spotted walking sheep on lead through station
ScotRail shared a picture of the man leading the animal along a platform at Paisley Gilmour Street station in Renfrewshire this week.
It is not clear where they were going, though the next train due to arrive at the platform was one heading to Largs in North Ayrshire.
In a social media post, ScotRail said: 'Well, ewe don't see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street!'
The photo shows the sheep looking docile as it walks along attached to a red lead while a man sitting on a bench looks on in apparent amusement.
A ScotRail spokesperson said: 'Monday evening brought one of the more ewe-nique sights on Scotland's Railway.
'We're used to livestock on the line causing disruption, but thankfully this visitor at Paisley Gilmour Street was on a lead and well baa-haved.'
Social media users joked about the incident, with one posting: 'I hope they've got a ticket or they'll be RAMifications…,' while another said: 'Seen it at Baaarhead.'
Others said they had seen the sheep being led along on a lead in Ayr and Prestwick in South Ayrshire in recent days.

Nicola Peltz strips completely naked for steamy bath snap as she ignores Beckham family feud
NICOLA Peltz stripped completely naked for a racy bath snap before posing topless in her latest sizzling set of selfies. The model and actress uploaded her "best memories" in a happy summer holiday round-up posted to Instagram despite being in the midst of a feud with husband Brooklyn's loved ones. 6 6 Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his spouse throughout - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama - amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage. He recently opened up further on his affections in a Instagram grid post in which he claimed popping the question to the American was the "best decision ever." And the Brit appeared more than happy to embrace his photographer streak for Nicola's latest snap in their bathroom. It sees the beauty fully stretched out in a white tub with no bubble bath, the clear water giving a glimpse of her toned figure. She covered her modesty with her arm and leg, leaving her dark locks flowing into the water. Nicola went make-up free and accessorised with a single diamond bracelet. She flashed a pout as she looked directly upwards at Brooklyn taking the snap. In another image, the Lola star posed topless for a mirror selfie before joining her spouse for a cuddled-up snap. Brooklyn Beckham takes swipe at David and Victoria amid 'family feud' as he shares tribute to wife Nicola Peltz The pair were also seen in a variety of poses on a boat. In the comments section, eldest Beckham son Brooklyn proudly wrote: "I took the photo in the bath." He then added: "Love you xx" TRUE ROMANCE Brooklyn recently opened up to Glamour on his early plans to pop the question to the actress, who he married in Miami three years ago. The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. In a rare joint interview and cover shoot with his wife, Brooklyn said: "I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her. "But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there." Yet the chef and photographer failed to mention his parents David and Victoria by name, and claims he has now hired Prince Harry's lawyers to solve the bitter dispute. Brooklyn continued to detail his proposal plans to Glamour Magazine 's Germany edition adding: "A few hours before, I had a golf cart accident and needed stitches in my hand. "My thumb was completely bandaged - I couldn't even open the wine!" During the chat, he was quick to gush over his spouse and their almost-instant connection. He said: "When I first saw Nicola at Coachella, I was immediately captivated - by her beauty, her warmth, her charisma. "Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it stayed with me for a long time." He then added: "You have to marry your best friend, someone you feel at home with. For me, Nicola is exactly that." Brooklyn previously made a dig at his famous parents in a social media post about Bates Motel star Nicola, saying: 'My whole world. "I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' TOUGH TIMES Their love story comes as Nicola recently revealed her huge new career move. Brooklyn recently broke his silence amid ongoing family drama, wishing sister Harper a happy birthday just days after being caught in a so-called 'WW3' rift involving his brothers Romeo and Cruz. The feud reportedly boiled over after Romeo blocked both Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram, blindsiding the couple during their holiday. Initial reports claimed Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed his siblings first, but insiders told The Sun that wasn't the case. A friend said: 'Brooklyn had no idea about any of this until he read about it online. 'It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as no longer following the brothers. 'They certainly didn't unfollow them or block them - they're as confused as anyone else. 'The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.' 6 6 6

Good Samaritan gardener targeted by cruel AI scam hits breaking point
A hardworking gardener famous for transforming the overgrown gardens of vulnerable Aussies has hit back at a cruel AI scam targeting his followers. Several fake accounts are posting Nathan Stafford's lawn care videos, usually with an American voiceover dubbed over the top, on TikTok and YouTube. The Sydney-based gardener started his mowing company in 2010 and has a 10million strong following across his social media platforms. Mr Stafford also donates a percentage of his merchandise sales to the Heart Centre for Children. However, in the last 18 months, the Good Samaritan has spent countless hours working to stop his followers from handing over money to scammers. Dozens of his videos have been reposted by fake accounts, some of which ask his followers for money under the guise of fundraising. Other videos feature insensitive voiceovers about single mothers and cancer patients. Mr Stafford told 2GB radio host Ben Fordham on Tuesday that the AI scam was affecting both his brand and his business. One video posted by a fake account claimed he was working on a single mother's 'mosquito trap' because she was 'too busy' to notice it was overgrown. 'It's very disappointing because I help a lot of single mothers and I don't find that entertaining at all,' Mr Stafford said. Several fake accounts (pictured) are posting Nathan Stafford's lawn care videos Some of the videos have a American voiceover dubbed over the top (pictured) 'To me it's making a mockery out of that situation. I even saw one last night about a person supposedly having leukemia. I lost a good mate that had leukemia. 'I don't appreciate any of that or find it funny at all. 'They're just trying to empty people's pockets.' He said there were 'hundreds and hundreds' of fake accounts on TikTok that he had been trying to get deleted for almost two years. 'It's really damaging, mate,' he told Fordham. 'Some of these fake accounts have amassed over 200,000 followers and reach out to my followers, pretending to be me, and request money.' Mr Stafford's content typically focuses on helping Aussies who are unable to take care of their own overgrown gardens, free of charge. 'I love doing it, it's a good way to also help people out in the community and spread a bit of positivity on my platforms,' he said. 'My profiles are based on helping people, honesty and all that kind of stuff. 'But (these AI scammers) are going out there and the stories that they're putting on these videos are horrendous. It's so far from the truth. 'I don't appreciate that because that's not what my channel is about.' Mr Stafford has called on TikTok and YouTube to deploy more resources to shut down fake accounts impersonating popular creators. 'Someone needs to step in here and speak with me. It's not just me. There's hundreds of other people that are going through this. It's out of control,' he said.
