Glasgow: A British woman discovered she has breast cancer after spotting an unusual heat coming from her chest on a thermal imaging camera at a Scottish tourist attraction.

Bal Gill was at Camera Obscura & World of Illusions in Edinburgh in May with her family and took a photo of the thermal image after noticing a red heat patch radiating from her left breast.

Thinking the uneven heat was "odd" compared with other people, Gill carried out an internet search on thermal imaging cameras and found out they can be used by oncologists to help diagnose cancers.

She then made an appointment with her doctor.
