A man has been arrested and charged after a shooting in Edinburgh last weekend.

A 25-year-old suffered leg injuries following an incident in Cables Wynd, Leith, on Friday at 11pm.

A shotgun believed to be the weapon used was later recovered by police in the nearby area.

Detective inspector Alan O'Brien confirmed a 30-year-old man was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday in connection with the shooting.

He said: "Police Scotland treats all reports of incidents involving a firearm with the utmost seriousness.

"Thanks to the cooperation of the local community and extensive policing inquiries, an arrest has now been made.

"I want to reassure the public that our inquiries so far suggest that this was an isolated incident."

Anyone who has information about the case but has not yet come forward is asked to contact police on 101.
