THE DRIVER of a blue Seat car had a lucky escape on Monday afternoon when his car caught fire while queuing at the Toft ferry terminal.

Fire fighters from Brae were quickly at the scene to extinguish the blaze.

A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said they were called out at around 4.30pm, and the fire was put out within half an hour.

There were no reports of any casualties, but the car was completely destroyed.
