AN unusual incident saw the closure of a road near Cowdenbeath on Saturday.

The incident at Goathill Quarry, Cowdenbeath, occurred during the mid afternoon when slurry appeared all over the surface of the road.

Cowdenbeath Police Tweeted: "The material arrived in mid afternoon.

"The organic material, thought to be a by-product of whisky production, should be straightforward to remove from vehicles by washing in the normal way. Any odour, as with agricultural by-products, is likely to be short-term".

The road was back open later in the afternoon.
