Flooding at Milnathort




A local resident in Milnathort, near Kinross, told BBC Scotland that
the pub, post-offices and many houses are severely flooded.

Dawn Ramage said she was currently upstairs in her own home as the
ground floor had been flooded.

She described the situation as "complete chaos" and said flood water
had extended across a "huge area of Milnathort".

"It's affected lots of businesses and loads and loads of houses," she
said.

"The emergency services are here - we've got the fire, we've got the
police. They're going round asking people if they want to be
evacuated.

"From where I can see, most people are retreating upstairs and just
sitting it out but I believe in some areas they've had to take people
out."
