Giant pandas flying back to China after 12 years in Edinburgh
The UK’s only giant pandas are flying back to China after 12 years in Scotland.
Yang Guang and Tian Tian left Edinburgh Zoo on Monday morning and were driven to Edinburgh Airport, where they were loaded into a cargo plane.
The China Southern cargo plane took off from Edinburgh Airport just after 1.45pm.
The pandas are being transported in metal crates and were accompanied by a Royal Zoological Society of Scotland
