Flood-hit farmers could access up to £24,500 to in compensation, government has revealed.
Farmers and crofters whose homes and businesses have been affected by flooding will be able to claim compensation from both their local authority and the new £1million agricultural floodbank restoration grant scheme.
Full details of the government scheme are still to be announced, but it is expected farm businesses will be able to apply for up to £20,000 to help fix floodbanks.
A government spokeswoman said: “The scheme will cover standard costs up to a cap of £20,000 per business and the total allocated to the fund is £1million. We are working closely with NFU Scotland and SEPA to finalise details of the scheme and will announce further detail, including contact information, in due course.”
The grant scheme funding is in addition to support announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to compensate households and businesses hit by flooding.
The funds will be distributed by local authorities.
Every household, business premises or charity directly affected by flood water will have access to a grant of £1,500, while businesses whose ability to trade has been severely affected by flooding will be able to apply for an additional grant of £3,000.
Meanwhile, environment secretary Liz Truss is to look at whether farmers south of the border can be paid to manage water on their land to prevent funding.
The scheme, which would use money from European Union farming subsidies earmarked for improving the environment and countryside, could see grants paid to turn fields into woodland or to build on-farm reservoirs or small dams to hold water.
