Flood warnings remain in place across Scotland today after heavy rain from Storm Frank battered the country.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) issued a ”severe flooding – danger to life” warning for Whitesands in Dumfries and Galloway and for the River Tweed in Peebles in the Borders.
Throughout Scotland there are around 70 flood warnings and 12 flood alerts in place.
Aberdeenshire, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway bore the brunt of the severe weather which caused disruption to road, rail and ferry services across the country.
People in Anderson Road, Deebank Road and Albert Road in Ballater were evacuated and a rest centre was set up at the Victoria Barracks and nearby Aboyne Academy.
In Aberdeen, Coastguard rescue teams were called to help evacuate residents from a care home which was flooded.
Residents were also evacuated from Riverside Drive in the city and moved to Norwood Hall which was opened as a rest centre.
These pictures show the flooding in the Granite City, mostly around Riverside Drive and Garthdee.
