Brechin in Angus was badly hit by flooding, with hundreds of residents fleeing their homes.
Residents in the most severely flooded part of Angus are returning to their homes to find “mind-blowing” levels of damage, as the clean-up begins in the wake of Storm Babet.
Brian Petrie, 66, returned to find the lower floor of his house covered in silt and mud, with the carpet squelching as he walked and the fridge upended. Jacqui Semple, head of risk, resilience and safety for Angus Council, said the local authority is now entering the recovery phase. A number of flood warnings remain in place around Scotland, but more of these are expected to be removed later in the day.
