Power has been restored to more than 500 properties in the Kemnay area.

Houses and businesses in the Aberdeenshire village suffered a blackout shortly after 7pm on Friday.

The outage was first reported to SSEN at around 7.15pm.

A total of 537 properties in the AB51 postcode area were affected by the fault.

The Kemnay Golf Club was among those affected by the power cut, with properties in Cluny, Monymusk and Craigearn also feeling the effects.

Faulty cable box causes blackout

Engineers made their way to the area to begin emergency repairs.

Power was restored to customers by 10.10pm.

SSEN confirmed the loss of power was due to a faulty cable box on the transformer.

Engineers are to return to the area today to carry out a full repair to prevent further issues on the network.
