Nation put on flood alert

MOTORISTS are being warned to take extra care as heavy rain is forecast for parts of Scotland.

Amber flood alerts have been issued for parts of Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray, which are expected to be deluged with the equivalent of a month's rainfall in the next three days.

The rain will affect most of the country today and is likely to be heaviest across Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute, Stirlingshire, Perthshire and the southern Highlands, with the potential for localised flooding and travel disruption.
