Flooding in Scotland - the main pointspublished at 18:48 British Summer Time 7 October 2023
That's it from our live coveage of the flooding in Scotland for the moment. But here is a reminder of today's main developments in what police have described as a "major incident":
- The Met Office issued two amber severe weather warnings covering much of Scotland as a month's worth of rain fell in one day.
- Ten people were airlifted to safety after a series of landslips on the A83 in Argyll and Bute.
- There was widespread flooding across Scotland with places such as Greenock, Dumbarton, Aberfoyle and Grangemouth, all having roads, homes and businesses affected.
- Trains were particularly disrupted with no cross-border services running into or from Scotland, and widespread closures on lines running to and from the central belt.
- Roads across the country were blocked or impassable and police warned drivers in Argyll and Bute not to travel.
- Many events were cancelled including football matches and protest marches.
- The bad weather looks like it will extend into Sunday with an amber warning in place for parts of central and north east Scotland until 1400.
