Twenty-five people have been injured after a ship tipped over at an Edinburgh dockyard

The Scottish Ambulance Service said 15 people had been taken to hospital and 10 people were treated at the scene of the incident at Imperial Dock, Leith.

A major incident was declared after research vessel Petrel became dislodged from its holding on a dry dock.

People have been asked not to attend A&E at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary (ERI) unless it is an emergency.

Pictures posted on social media show the 3,000-tonne vessel leaning at a 45-degree angle.

The Scottish Ambulance Service said it had been called to the incident at 08:29 and took 15 patients to hospital - 11 to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and four to Western General Hospital.

Another ten people were treated and discharged at the scene, a spokesman said.

The service said it had sent five ambulances, an air ambulance, three trauma teams, a special operations team, three paramedic response units and a patient transport vehicle to the scene.

The BBC understands that one person is in surgery in an operating theatre at ERI.

Jacquie Campbell, chief officer of acute services at NHS Lothian, said: "Given the expected pressure on the site, we urge people not to attend A&E at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh unless it's an emergency."
