An area hit by two weekends of severe weather has applied to the government for funds to help repair the damage caused.
Around 100 residents in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, were evacuated when the River Carron burst its banks in the early hours of Sunday and water rose to waist-height in parts of the town.
The previous weekend, gale-force winds and high tides caused millions of pounds-worth of damage in the area and along the east coast.
