Video reveals Grangemouth's £500m flood defence scheme

Final plans for Grangemouth's £500m flood protection scheme have been shown in a new visualisation.

Described as the most important of its kind in Scotland, the scheme has been drawn up to protect 2,760 homes, 1,200 businesses and national infrastructure sites including the Petroineos petrochemical site.

The length of planned flood defences is approximately 28km (17.3mi).

Falkirk Council said recent remodelling based on rising sea levels had made the need for protections more urgent.

It said the scheme aims to protect against "medium probability and very high-impact events, which would cause extensive damage to property, infrastructure and could even lead to the loss of lives."
