At least sixteen whales have died in a mass stranding off the coast of Fife.
The mammals were part of a group of 26 pilot whales stranded at Pittenweem, near St Andrews.
The remaining whales are being kept alive by vets from British Divers and Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), with help from the emergency services including Fife fire service.
