Flood in Scotland
Heavy rain caused widespread flooding in Scotland in the last few days of December.
Hundreds of people were affected when water levels in rivers rose to high levels. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency issued rare Severe Flood Warnings as the flood posed a risk to lives.
The flood caused disruption to power and transport, with rail lines and roads flooded or blocked by landslips.
The Severe Flood Warnings have been removed as water levels decreased in the following days, but the standing flood water still poses a hazard.
