Two inches of rain causes flooding and traffic chaos

Heavy rain and flooding created widespread disruption to traffic and caused problems for householders this morning.

Roads have been closed and trains and ferries are either being delayed or cancelled.

Tayside Fire and Rescue Service said it was dealing with a major flooding incident in Comrie village, near Crieff in Perthshire, after the Water of Ruchill burst its banks. Ten fire engines are at the scene and a large part of the village is flooded.
