Residents in an Aberdeen community today claimed the hot weather has created a pungent pong that has left some of them retching in the streets.

The Torry Pong – described by one woman as “a cocktail of ammonia, cat pee and onions” – has got worse in recent days.

The community has long been plagued by odours, which residents believe comes from the Nigg wastewater treatment plant, however, the summer heatwave prompted a fresh wave of complaints to Scottish Water and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa).

Both agencies have now launched investigations to get to the root of the problem.

Jasmin Gray, 24, who lives on Victoria Road, said: “It was so bad when I was walking home from work on Monday night that I was actually gagging.

“I’ve never smelt anything like it before – it’s like a cocktail of ammonia, onions and cat pee.”

Dundee man in custody over city centre fire-raising allegations

A 32-year-old man has been remanded in custody after allegedly setting fire to vehicles in Dundee city centre.

Christopher Adam, of Hilltown Terrace, is facing five charges including setting fire to a car, a motorbike cover and a restaurant menu, breaking into a vehicle and stealing a TV, and throwing a traffic cone at a restaurant’s windows, while on bail.

He appeared on petition at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday and made no plea.

The charges state that on July 27, the accused broke into a motor vehicle on Trades Lane and stole a television.

On the same day, he is said to have wilfully and recklessly destroyed or damaged property belonging to another without reasonable excuse, by repeatedly throwing a traffic cone or similar at the windows of Brassica restaurant on Shore Terrace, causing damage.

A third charge states that the man also wilfully set fire to a menu at Brassica, with the flames spreading and causing damage to the table it was sitting on.

Furthermore, the accused is alleged to have wilfully set fire to a car, with the fire spreading to adjacent vehicles and causing “extensive damage” to both at Trades Lane.

A final charge accuses Adam of wilfully setting fire to tarpaulin, which caused damage to a motorbike it was covering, at Allan Lane.

All of the alleged offences were said to have been committed on Friday, July 27 while Adam was on bail granted bail on February 8, 2018 at Dundee Sheriff Court.

He was remanded in custody and his case was continued for further examination.

This picture is captioned "One of the offending gulls". 

How can they be sure? That one could be a quiet retiring gull who despairs the racket that his noisy brethren make. Yet he's the one who is denigrated in the Courier without a trial of his peers.
