Police and rail officials reported that motorists had to be flown to safety on Saturday as parts of Scotland experienced a month’s worth of rain in a single day.
Ten drivers were rescued after being stranded on a main route near Inveraray, on the west coast, as a result of a series of landslips.
Kayakers were seen paddling down flooded streets in the Inverclyde area as a result of the downpours’ flooding.
Drivers were encouraged to postpone their journeys if possible since trains were cancelled or completed early.
“Some areas have seen up to a month’s worth of rain in a 24-hour period resulting in heavy flooding,” said a spokesperson for ScotRail.
The Met Office issued an Amber warning meaning there is a “danger to life” across parts of the country until Sunday afternoon.
