A road near Edinburgh's Haymarket Station has been closed after what's thought to be a small sinkhole opened up.

It formed overnight on Magdala Crescent, at its junction with Haymarket Terrace, and it's thought to have been caused by a bust water pipe.

The hole's only a few feet wide, but Edinburgh Council says the road could be shut for some time.
