A SCOTTISH flight made a dramatic and impressive landing on Saturday as Storm Kathleen raged across part of the country.
Footage posted on social media by passenger Gary Wilkinson shows the Oslo to Edinburgh flight landing at Edinburgh Airport amid high winds on Saturday afternoon.
The plane can be seen jostling from side to side as it approaches the runway.

However, despite a few yelps of concern from passengers, the pilot skilfully brings it in for a safe landing.
After the plane touched down passengers broke into applause, with one describing his thoughts on the landing with a simple “wow”.

It comes as Storm Kathleen continues on Sunday, with power cut warnings and travel disruption expected.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
