A SPECTACULAR 'geyser' was spotted in East Dunbartonshire on Tuesday after a deluge of rain fell across the area.
A member of the public came across the 'geyser' sending jets of water high into the air at the base of the Campsie Fells just above Auchenreoch.
Katherine Jones tweeted: "I was pretty surprised to see a spectacular geyser up on the campsies this evening. After very heavy rain."

Rather than an entirely natural phenomenon, they believe the water may have come out a pipe coming down from a nearby reservoir.
Commenting on the video, walking charity Ramblers Scotland said they had "never seen anything like it before".
It comes after residents in Midlothian were left shocked by the appearance of a 'waterspout' tornado. The cyclone of air was filmed above Bonnyrigg around 3.30pm on Tuesday.
East Dunbartonshire Council confirmed to The Herald that they received no reports for a burst pipe at the location.
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
