The 'danger to life' warning in the north-east has been eased, but parts of the country remain on amber alert.
There could be more flooding in parts of Scotland on Saturday evening although a red weather warning meaning a danger to life has now been lifted.
The revisions come after the Scottish Government’s Resilience Room met to discuss the “exceptional” levels of rain that had fallen in parts of Scotland during the weekend. The storm has claimed two lives in Scotland and searches continue for a man reported missing to police on Friday who is said to have been trapped in a vehicle in floodwater in Marykirk, Aberdeenshire.
Residents of nearby Bridge of Dun had to be airlifted via helicopter, while in other areas people stranded by floodwater were rescued by boats, including canoes.“Tragically, the storm has led to lives being lost and I send my sincere condolences to the families affected. “The storm has caused significant damage and while flooding is still occurring, it is not expected to be as serious as over the last 24 hours. The impact, however, will be felt in communities for some time to come.
Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland Stuart Houston said: “We are seeing an improving weather picture, but conditions remain extremely challenging, particularly in the worst affected areas in Tayside.
