Two giant pandas have arrived in Edinburgh after an 11-hour journey from China.
Tian Tian and Yang Guang are the first giant pandas to be sent to Britain to live for 17 years.
They arrived in wintry conditions in Edinburgh at 1pm on Sunday to temperatures of about 3 degrees, having left temperatures of 10 degrees at Chengdu airport.
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore, Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Edinburgh's Lord Provost George Grubb, and the Chinese Charge d'Affaires were at the airport to meet the pandas.
They were accompanied by a vet and two animal handlers from Edinburgh Zoo and the Bifengxia Panda Base.
Tian Tian has had twin cubs in the past, and Yang Guang has also fathered cubs - though not as a pair together.
The eight-year-old pandas will stay at the city's zoo for at least 10 years on loan to Scotland.
However, animal welfare campaigners have criticised the zoo for accepting them , saying it is a "primarily commercial deal".
Bringing the animals to Edinburgh has involved a five-year effort by the zoo.
Edinburgh zoo says there are only 13 zoos outside China which have pandas.
