Longannet 600ft chimney demolished
The 600ft chimney at the former Longannet power station has been demolished in a controlled explosion.
The Fife site produced Scotland's last coal-fired energy until it ceased operation in 2016.
The chimney was the largest free-standing structure in Scotland and was a local landmark for generations.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pushed the button to ignite 700kg of explosives, bringing down the chimney stack.
