The BBC is reporting flooding in many places throughout Scotland due to the heavy and intense rainfall over the last 24 hours. Areas from Balloch to Inverness, from Edinburgh to Perth have been affected by flooding of property and roads.

Freuchie has been lucky to only have experienced approximately 20mm of rainfall over the last 24 hours.

Our thoughts go out to our fellow Scots affected by flooding.

Another sad day for a community in Scotland as the people of Morningside in Edinburgh experience a destructive flash flood event a few days ago.

The Daily Record has comprehensive coverage of the disaster:

Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected.

Feel free to contact FFAG if you require any advice.
