WEATHER warnings remain in place in Scotland as Storm Bert brings flooding across the country.
On Monday, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) told those living from Ayr to Troon and in Orkney’s Churchill Barrier to expect flooding from the sea due to “high tides and large waves”.
Residents in Strathglass and Moy Bridge have been urged to prepare for agricultural land flooding due to rising river levels.

The agency said it is monitoring the situation and will issue an updated warning if the rising river levels pose a wider risk.
Sepa stated the warnings are in place until further notice.
Meanwhile, the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind across the west coast, the Highlands, Strathclyde and Tayside from 12am to 10am on Monday.
Forecasters have predicted gusts of 50 to 60mph, with exposed areas being hit by 70mph winds.
The Met Office stated that “delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.”
We will continue to monitor the situation. Stay up to date on thenational.scot for all the latest.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
