The car sustained damage to the front, with the bonnet dented and lifted.

It was removed from the scene by recovery vehicles at about 9.30am.

A shed in the front garden was damaged in the crash, which saw the car come to rest on a gravel area at the front of the house.

A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that three fire engines had been called out, as well as “multiple special resources”.

Police Scotland has been approached for comment.
