Man seen casually walking sheep on a lead at Paisley train station
A man has been captured on CCTV walking his sheep at Paisley Gilmour Street Station.
ScotRail staff and passengers have been left bewildered after the station's CCTV caught the scene and shared it to social media.
Posting the picture on X, a man is seen wearing a blue t-shirt and a hat casually walking down one of the platforms with the sheep on a close lead, reports Glasgow Live.
In the background, a man sitting on a bench with a Tesco bag appears to be amused by the sight as the pair walked past him.
The rail operator added: "Well, ewe don't see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street! #WhatTheFlock #EweWontBelieveIt."
While ScotRail doesn't specify whether or not ewe can bring sheep onto its trains, the website says pets including dogs, cats and tortoises are welcome on board as long as they are on a lead or in a travel cage.
Locals flocked to the comments following the post. One said: "Seen it at Baaarhead."
And another added: "He is looking a bit sheepish."
In 2022, we reported shoppers were also stunned after spotting a man walking two well-trained sheep on leashes down a busy Glasgow street.
The animals were seen strolling along Buchanan Street by a man wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a long walking stick.
Passer-by James Ormiston said the group "got plenty of attention". He said: "While in Glasgow, I came across an unusual sight. It was a chap walking sheep; not dogs, but sheep on leashes.
"He certainly got plenty of attention as walked up Buchanan street while stopping to chat with passers by. I've no idea if it was a stunt or what but it made me smile."
Photos show the man, wearing a jumper, jeans, walking boots and a cowboy hat while carrying a wooden staff. Attached to the leash are two sheep; one with a red collar and the other wearing a blue collar.

The trio stick out like sore thumbs heading from the bottom of Buchanan Street, where it meets Argyle Street, up past stores such as House of Fraser and Zara.
One tracksuit-clad local is seen smiling in one of the images, catching the sight out of the corner of her eye. In another snap a group of three young boys are seen laughing at the animals, with one getting his phone out to catch a quick photo.
One woman is seen chatting to the man while, behind the sheep, one man is positioning his phone to take a picture while another shopper wearing a pink jacket can't quite believe what she is witnessing.
The man from the second photo plucks up the courage to approach the sheep in the third image, making space for another local who also takes out her phone to capture the moment. Meanwhile a woman with short, purple hair delights in the sight, pointing and laughing at the adorable, farmyard animals.

Bombay café Dishoom confirms first Glasgow location ahead of opening next month
Expect much-loved dishes - from Bacon Naan Rolls to House Black Daal - that have won fans across the UK One of the UK's best-loved restaurants is finally opening in Glasgow next month with plans to bring their iconic dishes to Scotland's biggest city. Dishoom will open the doors to its long-awaited Glasgow café on Friday, August 29. Taking over a 7,000 sq ft Grade A listed building on Nelson Mandela Place, once home to the city's stock exchange, this will be Dishoom's second Scottish location following the Edinburgh café, a firm favourite since opening in 2017. Each Dishoom restaurant begins with a story, grounding its design in a specific moment from Bombay's history or culture. In Glasgow, the look is rooted in a fictional narrative centred around Miss X. Miss X, the story goes, is a former covert agent from Bombay, who now runs a bustling Irani café at the bottom of the Glasgow Stock Exchange. The restaurant will be open from morning to night, with a menu that captures the spirit and soul of Bombay's cafés, grills, street stalls and homes. Chef Arun Tilak, Dishoom's Executive Chef and part of the team since 2012 where he began his journey as Head Chef at Dishoom Covent Garden, said: "Bringing Dishoom to Glasgow has long been a dream of ours. "The team has worked hard to create a space and a menu that feels authentic to Bombay while celebrating the character of Glasgow and the heritage of its South Asian community. We cannot wait to welcome our first guests through the door for shared stories and leisurely feasts." And Glasgow diners will be doing good with every visit. As part of Dishoom's Meal for a Meal initiative, for every meal enjoyed, a meal will be donated to a child who might otherwise go without. This will happen through partnerships with Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India. To date, more than 20 million meals have been given through Dishoom's 10 other UK cafés in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester. Just last year, food experts divulged their favourite restaurants to have brunch to The Times. Among the spots featured was Dishoom. Stuart Ralston, the chef-patron of Aizle, said it was a '"really good" breakfast and Dishoom was the only chain restaurant he'll visit in Edinburgh. Stuart also commended its quick service and popular bacon naan. Wondering when you can pay a visit? Reservations will be available for breakfast and lunch, and for groups of six or more at dinner. Walk-ins are welcome at any time. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

"We invite people to make this café their own - whether they're grabbing breakfast before work or settling in for a big evening feast with friends and family."

Check your wallets for three rare £1 coins worth more than £500
An expert has revealed the valuable rare £1 coins Brits need to look out for An expert has called on Brits to look out for three scarce £1 coins that could command a value significantly exceeding their face value. Collectively, these coins might get you upwards of £500. In a TikTok video, an expert known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, who boasts more than 250,000 followers, highlighted the potential worth of these coins that you might have at home. He explained: "The valuable £1 coins you need to look out for. Pay attention to the details. The last one is unbelievable." He first pointed out that a particular 2016 pound coin could fetch up to £60. This coin is distinguished by its "nations of the crown" design, the Daily Record reports. On the coin's reverse (the tail side), there's an illustration featuring an English rose, Welsh leek, Scottish thistle, and Northern Irish shamrock sprouting from a crown. While standard versions of this coin are merely valued at £1, it becomes a collector's item if it displays a tiny emblem on the reverse. He elaborated: "This is a new pound coin from 2016. "And what you need to look for is a small floral symbol at the bottom left of the coin just above the letter 'E'. Here is a better example so you can see it. If you find this, then it's rare as only 9,850 were minted." Another uncommon coin from 2016 was also mentioned. He stated: "Next is an old round pound coin from 2016 with the shield design. "With a mere 38,000 of these coins struck, it's considered rare and currently holds a value of about £30 to collectors. Just remember the date needs to be 2016." This represented the final iteration of the traditional circular £1 coins produced in Britain prior to the launch of the 12-sided version. The concluding coin featured in his compilation is particularly precious, as it has reportedly fetched approximately £500 at sale. This is another nations of the crown design mentioned above. Whilst this coin dates from 2016, there is a minuscule mistake that references the year 2017. The specialist explained: "But you will need a magnifying glass to find this error. Some of the 2016 coins were minted with the wrong micro engraving of 2017, making this super rare and valuable to coin collectors. "So check around the edge of the coin for the date 2017. And if you find this error, then it has been known to sell for around £500."

Major EastEnders fan-favourite asked to return this year - but it didn't happen
A major fan-favourite EastEnders star has revealed that she was asked to return to the BBC soap earlier this year, but things didn't work out. Over the past year, countless iconic characters have returned to Albert Square as part of the show's 40th anniversary celebrations, including Angie Watts and Mickey Miller. Now, actress Lin Blakely has revealed that she too was asked to reprise her role as Pam Coker earlier this year, but things didn't work out.

Another major storyline included Pam's discovery that husband Les had a feminine alter-ego named Christine, after she suspected him of having an affair with Claudette Hubbard. Speaking about her near-return, Lin told Matthew Rolland as part of his Isolation Interviews series: 'It's funny because at the beginning of the year, February, I was just about to go on holiday and the guy in casting rang my agent and said, 'Ask Lin, I want her to come back in for three eps with the hope of maybe coming back in permanently.' 'But it never happened because I had a friend I was going away with and I didn't want to let her down. I thought maybe they'd ask me when I got back because I was only away ten days, but they didn't. 'Who knows? You never know in this game, and if I did go back, I'd love it.' We would as well! In 2023, Lin swapped Walford for the Emmerdale village, arriving as Jai Sharma's (Chris Bisson) mum Georgia.
