The body of a 57-year-old woman was recovered from the Water of Lee in the Angus region after she was swept into a river during heavy rain caused by Storm Babet.
A woman has died and hundreds of people have been evacuated from their homes amid 'unprecedented' levels of rainfall from Storm Babet. Thousands more homes across eastern Scotland have been left without power due to the destructive storm - which has prompted a rare red warning from the Met Office. Shona Robison, Scotland's deputy first minister, has warned the worst impacts of the storm are yet to come.
A number of attractions across Aberdeenshire have been forced to close, including the grounds of the royal residence, Balmoral Castle. Funerals in Aberdeenshire have also been postponed until at least next week, the council has said. Videos have also emerged of huge waves hitting Stonehaven Harbour in Aberdeenshire.
