The woman, who is believed to be in her 30s, was caught on camera squatting with her trousers at her ankles in broad daylight in Aberdeen.

Crouching down between two cars in the city's George Street - she seems not to be concerned about being seen by passers-by.

A number of people have voiced their disgust after pictures appeared on social media, the Daily Record reports.

Labour Councillor Nathan Morrison, who represents the area, said: “It is completely unacceptable behaviour.

“It is not something you want to see on the streets and there really is no excuse for that kind of behaviour.

“I have never seen anything like that before – particularly in broad daylight. Hopefully the woman is at least fined for her actions.”

The photograph has been seen by thousands of people on Facebook, with one person even suggesting it is enough to convince her not to live in the city.

The photo has also been uploaded to the www.caughtdrunk.co.uk website.
