POLICE Scotland officers have busted some Scottish moves after accepting a global "Running Man" dance challenge from cops in New York City.
The officers can be seen in front of Edinburgh Castle doing the running man - with a bit of country dancing thrown in.
The viral video is their response to a challenge from cops in the NYPD who accepted a challenge from officers in New Zealand.
The post on the official Police Scotland Facebook reads: "We accepted the #RunningManChallenge from @NYPDnews and pass it to @metpoliceuk @TorontoPolice and our own @PolScotCollege."
It is understood recruits at Police Scotland College will film their version today.
The Police Scotland team also thanked piper Andrew Vernon who added some Scottish flavour to their video which features the song My Boo by the Ghost Town DJs.
Facebook users have already commented on the video in their hundreds.
Gael A Whelan said: "Love the fact that the pipes are in this! Well done Police Scotland."
Donna Kokeš added: "Well done police Scotland. Your all so very brave, you risk your lives everyday to keep us all safe, it's just wonderful to see these officers having fun with this challenge."
Several Facebook users, however, did not feel the challenge was appropriate.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
