North-east Scotland warned of risk of further flood damage

Residents hoping for some respite over weekend are alerted to 'residual impacts' after heavy rain leads to record river levels and severe flooding

Residents in parts of north-east Scotland have been advised to prepare for "residual impacts" from the recent floods after heavy rain caused record river levels and severe flooding.

Dozens of homes were evacuated in Inverurie, Port Elphinstone and Ellon in Aberdeenshire as the swollen river Don sent flood waters racing down the streets on Thursday night and Friday morning.
