Scottish Water has confirmed that no work was being undertaken in the area and is being treated as a bogus caller incident.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water’s Corporate Affairs Manager, said: “All Scottish Water employees – and anyone working for us – are always highly visible and carry photo ID when out and about. If you’re in any doubt at all about anyone at your door and the reason they’re there, don’t even open your door to them.
