But according to reports in the Scottish Sun on Sunday, the location has come under-fire from rescue heroes who are concerned about children's safety.

George Parsonage, of the Glasgow Humane Society, warned: "People should stay away from water or any other dangers while using this app.

"We also don't want any accidents on the bridge if people are stopping their cars to play.

"This app is wonderful fun but people need to be sensible and avoid taking risks."
