BBC Scotland were showing it this evening (thought it was in the Borders though but only half listening). Can you pick it up via iplayer?

 

[My_chestnut_mare]

Sadley there was also a pony in Aberdeenshire caught when a barn collapsed. It had to be PTS.

 

[My_chestnut_mare]

oh no that is so sad.

It said on the news that the man got out but some of the cattle were killed.
Another barn has collapsed in Huntly with ponies inside, it just said rescue services were in attendance.

This Morning a cattle shed collapsed in the huntly area, a farm worker was very lucky to only have minor injuries and I believe only a handful of cattle were killed.
Tonight a rescue operation is under way in the same area a steading roof has collapsed with horses inside. One man has been taken to hospital already and at half past six (last time I heard an update) they were trying to get horses out.

It's no surprise. My guttering is already off and the farm next door are panicking about their buildings. There's a huge amount on all the roofs up my way.

I feel so sorry for all these animals! But half of them wouldn't be able to live out either! My friends chicken shed collapsed the other day killing about 1000 chickens!

The barn was at Glass, near Huntly. Right beside Aswanley (who run BE) as the owner of the estate was on the local radio talking about it.
