FLOODING in Scotland has been compared to conditions during the Beast from the East in 2018, as southern parts of the UK enjoyed the warmest October in five years.
Police Scotland said communities “faced some of the most challenging conditions ever”, after 10 motorists were airlifted to safety on Saturday due to landslides on the A83 in Argyll and Bute, which dislodged 2,000 tonnes of debris. Another four were airlifted in Kilmartin, Argyll and Bute. “Safety inspections are now under way, and teams are on site to begin clear-up operations once it is deemed safe to do so.”
“The situation in Argyll and Bute remains extremely challenging, with a number of main routes closed. In that area I would urge people to consider if their journey is really necessary or if it can be delayed until conditions improve further.” Since 6pm on Sunday, two flood warnings have been removed, for Aberfoyle and Bridge of Allan, both near Stirling, but 53 remain, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency .
