A herd of cows have been spotted running through a housing estate in Scotland after fences penning them in were blown down by 122mph winds from Storm Floris.

Footage posted on Facebook by a resident shows neighbours watching on in shock as around 20 cattle gathered on a street in the village of Carfin in North Lanarkshire this afternoon.

Most are huddled together at the end of the road whilst six are seen anxiously running past houses to keep up with the group.

Darren Young, who filmed and posted the video, wrote: 'For anyone out and about in Carfin looks like a couple of fences have been blown down and the cows are out in force.'

The fences were more than likely blown down by ferocious winds from Storm Floris with Scotland seeing the highest recorded wind speed so far at 124mph.
