A Scots dad was left terrified after he found a 4ft snake in his late aunt's kitchen sink while clearing out her flat.
Paul Lawrie, was inside the property on Market Street in Musselburgh with his daughter, Abigail Lawrie, 28, on the afternoon of Saturday, January 7, when he spotted what he thought was a toy.
The 53-year-old had been going in and out of the property since December to collect mail and make sure the place was being kept clean and well-heated while vacant.
