Mike Flynn, superintendent of the Scottish SPCA, said the spider was taken into custody by rescuers, but was later euthanized.
"Sadly the spider had to be put to sleep as there is nowhere in Scotland to safely rehome it, and we could not keep it in our center due to severe health and safety concerns," Flynn told Sky News.
