Dozens of homes evacuated, as the north-east takes the brunt | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of some of the worst flooding on record. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
By day householders have been taking stock of the damage | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
I am in Port Elphinstone, where residents strangled -- struggle to | :00:16. | :00:29. | |
avoid raging flood water. And I am in Ellon, when people have been | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
returning home to assess the damage. And we take to the air to see | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
for ourselves how the flooding has brought disruption to | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
the road and rail network. Also on the programme: Scotland's | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
love affair with booze - now new guidelines cut | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
the recommended amount of alcohol And one of the biggest weekends in | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
the Scottish football calendar starts tonight here in Paisley. | :00:54. | :01:06. | |
Two severe flood warnings - meaning there's a risk to life - | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
remain in place in parts of north-eastern Scotland. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Heavy rain caused dozens of people to leave their homes | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
in Aberdeenshire, after heavy rain caused rivers to overflow. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Our reporter John McManus is in Port Elphinstone, | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
near Inverurie, where homes have been flooded. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
The pumps are hard at work here tonight in Port Elphinstone, but it | :01:25. | :01:38. | |
was a very different scene last night. It looked like a disaster | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
movie, with water surging down the road, in and dating houses and | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
causing a very sudden evacuation. Port Elphinstone this morning, | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
another north-east town hit by flooding. Several streets and many | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
more homes recovering from last night's onslaught by the River Don. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Hundreds of people evacuated their homes but this morning emergency | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
workers and others were still concerned about some of them. I am | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
checking on our service users. I'm checking that she is OK. Have you | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
managed to contact her? The firemen are checking at the moment. Laura | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
McIntosh's ground floor flat was inundated. I saw the water rising | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
and I thought, get out. She had heard the flood warnings and she | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
tried to prepare. It was too late for sandbags. We just packed a few | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
things and shipped out, basically. It wasn't until this morning we knew | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
there were boats getting everybody out of the flats. This is what she | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
was escaping, the River Don sweeping through the town. Families grabbing | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
what they could, then ferried out on ambulances. Inevitably, there was | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
some confusion, with routes to the emergency rest centre blocked by | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
water. This is an unprecedented flood and inevitably the talk comes | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
to what you can do to prevent it. I'm not sure any measures could have | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
been stopped -- could have been put in to stop this but, longer term, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
people will want to look at river management. After a succession of | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
devastating floods, local and national politicians are under | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
pressure. They are finding it increasingly hard to explain scenes | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
like this to voters. Things are much, here this evening. | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
I'm joined now by the local MP and MSP, Alex Salmond. Have you ever | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
seen anything like this flooding? No, it is a scene of total | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
devastation. Canal road was part of the River Don, which was as broad as | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the Mississippi last night. There is a huge human angle. Down the road, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Mr and Mrs Ross, they have been married for 67 years. They missed | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
being flooded by inches last Monday but they were flooded out last | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
night. Heart-rending. You have been speaking to local people. Are they | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
happy with the response from local and national government? There is | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
huge aspiration for the effort put in by the local police and Fire | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Service. The operation which kicked in to help people, and remember, not | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
a single life has been lost, was exceptional last evening and earlier | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
this week, nothing but praise. What we are looking for now is assistance | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
from central government, not just a scheme which has already kicked in. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
We are hoping that we First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, will be | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
announcing that tomorrow. Homes were also evacuated and power lost in the | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
town of Ellon 15 miles north. Power has now been restored. | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
Its riverside location would normally be a source of envy but, as | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
the Ythan rose, it became a source of danger, water surrounding the | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
house and everyone inside. It was coming in both doors, along with | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
garage and through the house. You couldn't stand up. This video | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
captures the Ythan's rapid rise, water levels peaking around 5am with | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
serious consequences for those living near the river. It is the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
middle of the afternoon here, and the street and the pavements are | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
still flooded, but 12 hours ago the situation was much worse, water | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
coming up over this wall behind me, forcing the residents in these homes | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
to leave. Inside, the dirty water had claimed furniture and | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
possessions. Alastair Campbell returning home briefly to salvage | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
what he could. Pretty much what we expected, to be honest, our worst | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
fears. So, at the moment, we are just shell-shocked. We are just | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
grabbing what we can afford things start going mouldy. Bush before. | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
Having helped to evacuate scores of homes, firefighters turned their | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
attention to the power supply, a flooded substation leaving around | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
150 houses without electricity. What kind of morning has it been? I am | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
living on my own. It hasn't been good. From the town's main bridge, | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the sites were so unusual that they drew a crowd including local | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
schoolchildren, who were all given an unexpected day off. The school | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
was nearly flooded. What have you done instead? Row we went for a | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
walk. Is that better than going to school? The worst is yes. People are | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
left to pick up the pieces, hoping this unwarranted spectacle doesn't | :07:08. | :07:07. | |
return. Heartbreaking for the householders | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
in Port Elphinstone and Ellon, John, but the floods | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
have had an impact right There been has heavy rain for days | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
across Aberdeenshire, For many people that has meant | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
travel disruption as roads have been You get a better overview | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
from the air, so Huw Williams joined a Network Rail survey team flying | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
north from Perth to look From 1500 feet up and at more than | :07:31. | :07:45. | |
100 mph, as the Network Rail helicopter heads out of Perth, it | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
looks like there is water everywhere. There has been | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
particular concern about this bridge. It was up to a very high | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
level, just below the rail. It needed to be checked regularly just | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
to ensure that there was no movement in the Stones underneath the track | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
and the supporting embankment, to make sure there was no damage to it | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
occurring because of the water. But that is not the main objective of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
today's survey. Even before we set off, it was clear the priority had | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
to be a landslip at Killiecrankie tunnel. A lot of debris has fallen | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
onto the track including some trees. We have staff on site dealing with | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
that but we are going to look at the rest of the line which perhaps staff | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
haven't been able to get to. We can target any response of ground crews | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
to just go to specific sites. Engineers are working now to clear | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
the problems but train services between Inverness and the central | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
belt have been disrupted and there are still road closures in force. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
The A90 near Peterhead was shot in both directions by flood water and | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
dozens of minor roads are still effective. You can cover much more | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
ground much more quickly. This is revealing that, although water | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
levels are going down... There are still plenty of areas where | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
waterlogged ground and fallen trees are ready to slip across the track, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
potentially causing more problems. The trees have fallen over and the | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
tops of the trees... From here, just to make sure. I took some pictures. | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
We will feedback to the engineers. The next problem is going to be | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
snow, especially in Ayrshire, the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
but the good news is that emergency repairs have been completed to the | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
runway at Aberdeen airport. Rail engineers say the storm damage | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
to a crucial viaduct on the West Coast Main line is more | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
severe than they first thought. And they're now in a race | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
against time to make the structure safe and reopen the line | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
by the end of the month. The Lamington viaduct was damaged | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
by flood waters on Hogmanay. Our transport correspondent | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
David Miller reports. This is one of Britain's's busiest | :10:09. | :10:21. | |
railway lines but, today, and for the rest of the month, these tracks | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
here will be silent. The only noise here, the constant rumble of | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
hundreds of tonnes of rock being moved into position to protect this | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
bridge from the waters of the Clyde. Inspections by divers have revealed | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
the damage to the structure is more severe than first thought and the | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
engineers working here on out in a race against time to make this | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
structure safe and reopen the line by the end of the month. The raging | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
floodwaters swept away in Victorian masonry on the bridge's central | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
support, undermining the structure. The man in charge of the project | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
says he faces a massive challenge. The damage we have found in the last | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
couple of days has been much more severe than we thought, and we have | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
this thing where, through turbulence of the water, it undermines the | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
structure of the pier significantly. We are in a programme to stabilise | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
that peer by Sunday and, next week, we will finalise our programme for | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
the repairs. Transport ministers from Holyrood and Westminster | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
arrived here to be briefed on the problems caused by the recent record | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
rainfall. We have to plan and prepare for that because that is | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
what the experts tell us, that we are facing more volatile weather, so | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
we have to adapt. Preventing damage like this in the years ahead will | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
require huge investment in Britain's rail network. The UK Government | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
insists record amounts are already being spent. How much of the UK rail | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
budget is being spent on climate mitigation? I don't know but, for | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
the first time in 100 years, we are spending these amounts of money on | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
the railway structure and the structure is much smaller than it | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
was 100 years ago. We are spending unprecedented amounts. For now, the | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
focus is on getting this line reopened. The train companies say | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
they are doing everything to minimise disruption and they have | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
thanked customers. Snow has been falling in other areas. Police said | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
around 50 cars were stuck for a time on the A7 between Langholm and | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
long-term in Dumfries and Galloway. The 68 MAJOR BOROUGH WAS ALSO STUCK | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
BUSH BLOCKED. THERE HAVE BEEN HAS EASED -- THERE HAS BEEN HEAVY SNOW | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
IN AYRSHIRE. Chris will be here with the full weekend weather forecast at | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
the end of the programme. An 82-year-old woman found murdered | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
in her Fife home was beaten to death with a rolling pin, BBC | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Scotland understands. Marie Logie's body was found | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
in her first-floor flat in Leven She was last been seen alive | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
at 8am that morning. Police said she was the victim | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
of a "brutal and horrific attack" Health experts and charities | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
in Scotland are welcoming It's now recommended that men | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
and women drink no more than 14 units a week, with some | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
alcohol-free days. It's less than was previously | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
recommended, and a dramatic Our health correspondent | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
Eleanor Bradford reports. Judging by the empty seats in this | :13:39. | :13:52. | |
popular Glasgow Pub, many of us are still recovering after a festive | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
binge but, to pile on the guilt, the chief medical officers of all four | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
UK nations say we should dramatically cut our drinking to | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
stay healthy. One problem with the new guidance is, like the old | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
guidance, it is expressed in units rather than the kind of measures we | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
are used to in the pub so, with the help of Eleanor, we are trying to | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
make out what it means for you. The new guidelines say you should have | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
14 units spread over a week with days. Each day, that is one large | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
bottle of beer or a pint of beer or cider, just under a large glass of | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
wine, two whiskeys or three small gin and tonics or vodka tonics. How | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
does that compare with your consumption? About a 10th. At the | :14:36. | :14:45. | |
weekends, I'll have if you drinks. That might be the most unhealthy | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
weight to drink. Possibly. I think I just drink more. In France, a glass | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
of wine would be the maximum that the government recommends. In | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Scotland, we drink a fifth more than England and Wales and we buy an | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
average of 20 units of alcohol each week. The new guideline is that we | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
should drink 14. Now the link between alcohol and cancer is much | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
better understood. Alcohol is responsible for 6% of all cancer | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
deaths. We knew about liver cancer in people with severe alcohol | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
problems but the evidence now shows we have risks for breast cancer, | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
mouth and throat cancer, gullet than Sir -- gullet cancer and colon and | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
rectal cancer. It harms the unborn child, so the rest of the UK has now | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
followed Scotland's lead in recommending that women don't drink | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
at all during pregnancy. I mentioned snow earlier and, as if to prove a | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
point, here is David. I've argued with my cameraman, I said it was | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
snow coming he said fleet. I think you'll see is snow. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
I'm at the Paisley 2021 Stadium because it's Scottish Cup | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
fourth round weekend - one of the highlights | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
of the football year, the time when the Premiership | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
One of them, Partick Thistle, are playing here tonight against | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
Championship side St Mirren to begin the weekend. I am delighted to say | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
that the neo- -ish St Mirren manager, Alex Rae, joins me. What is | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
it about the Scottish cup? Does it still have that magic? Without a | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
doubt, one of the trophies I never won as a player so we are trying to | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
compose a good team tonight. Romantics like me dream of Cup | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
upsets. Can you do it tonight? I hope so, we had a good performance | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
at the weekend. Partick Thistle are flying in the league. He's done a | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
great job but we want to take the game to them and impose ourselves. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
They are in good form. And St Mirren have not won a home came here, the | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
stadium is in such good condition that people want to come here. We | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
need to get a home win and hopefully build that into league campaign. And | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
some innovation tonight, no segregation in some areas, some | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Partick Thistle fans will set alongside St Mirren fans, will that | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
add to the atmosphere? I hope so. Both clubs have a good family | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
spirit. The conditions aren't great but and would recommend to anyone to | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
come along to night. The snow is falling. What kind of much can we | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
expect? Great conditions for me, just a bit of wind, and that of | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
snow, no rain, I think it will be a feisty encounter. Do you enjoy video | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
technology and would you like that introduced? Yes. I'm glad you said | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
that. In next season's Scottish Cup, | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
video technology could be used The SFA's chief executive wants it | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
to be trialled in the competition - Alasdair Lamont's been gauging | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
opinion from others in the game. It is incidents like this that might | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
be resolved on the spot. If the video technology proposal gets the | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
green light. The controversy over this handball that never was might | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
have been avoided. The football lawmaking body will decide in March | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
if trials can take place. They will be limited to decisions on goals, | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
red cards, penalties and cases of mistaken identity. A step forward, | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
says the SS FA, although not for everyone. Where are you going to | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
draw the line? If you started maybe it will be like in American | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
football, a lot of stops in the game and we don't want that. I understand | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
the concerns about losing the rhythm and pace of the game but technology, | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
as it is now, there's no delay. It is split second. That split second | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
decision could reduce injustice. The red card in this case was | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
overturned, but not until a couple of days later, too late to help the | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
aggrieved manager. I think its time, technology is here, the touchline, | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
the press, the TV cameras can see it in ten seconds, if it means we get | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
the right decisions more often, I am for it. To help get the right | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
decisions rugby uses a similar system with the referee connected to | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
a television match official. The football version won't be a replica | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
but if trials are successful it could be the norm by 2018. You can | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
follow all the fun of this season's Scottish Cup across the BBC. | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Including commentary of tonights match on Radio Scotland 810 medium | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
wave, if you fancy something else there's rugby on 92-95 FM. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
One of the biggest stars of world athletics is in Scotland this | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
weekend - not for the Scottish Cup though. | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
in the Edinburgh International Cross Country, and he's been speaking | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
to Jane Lewis about that and about the sport's | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
on-going doping and corruption scandals. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Mo Farah is hoping to lead the way in Edinburgh tomorrow. He believes | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
Britain should be doing likewise as his sport battle stoping and | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
corruption controversies. It will take time. We are working on it. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
We've got to clean up. We do the best we can in our country to do | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
what we do and I hope that we can live by example and get rid of the | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
bad ones. Mo Farah is going to make it two gold medals! This will be his | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
first competitive race of the year, all part of his Olympic preparations | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
and Edinburgh will provide a tough test. This is the course that will | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
test him and his fellow runners, Holyrood Park will proved tricky, | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
it's been wet although underfoot and is beginning to get hard with | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
overnight frost. It's definitely different to running on the road, | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
running 26 miles, it is shorter, but it should help, the kind of training | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
and doing now. It will be a real test. I'm excited about the race and | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
I will give 110%, see what happens. It gives me an indicator of where my | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
training as that, where I am. Mo Farah won this event in 2011. With | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
the final preparations being made to the course this year, he will be | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
hoping for a repeat performance. I don't know if it will snow on Mo, | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
but there's certainly plenty of it coming down here! Thanks very much. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
It's regarded as one of the most significant battles in Scottish | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
history - yet the Battle of Stirling Bridge is barely marked. | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
And although everyone knows about William Wallace - | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
in some ways, thanks to Hollywood - his co-commander Andrew De Moray has | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Six designs shortlisted to commemorate the two men | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
and the battle went on display in Stirling today. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
This is the site, these are the stones that we put up as phase one. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
It may have been one of the most significant battles in Scottish | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
history but there is one modest stone to mark this battle and that | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
took 700 years to arrange. I think it has been overlooked because | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
sterling is dominated by the Wars of Independence. The Wallace money | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
meant, the castle behind me, the Battle of Bannockburn with its | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
eccentric, they have kind of forgotten, I think we have taken for | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
granted this battle. Not any more. A three-year campaign has raised the | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
money to build a new artwork, and develop this site is a tourist | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
attraction. And, if little is known about William Wallace, even less is | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
known about his fellow commander, Andrew De Moray. He didn't even get | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
mentioned in the Hollywood film Braveheart so the briefers for a | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
large-scale artwork that commemorates them both. These are | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the ideas of the six artists short listed. Andrew De Moray was mortally | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
wounded at the battle and we think he died shortly afterwards. The | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
plaudits for the victory went to Wallace. So very few of us know | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
about Andrew De Moray. So I've tried to show him, give him the best seat, | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
as it were. So he is elevated, on horseback. I have opted for two | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
figures and further characterisation of the figures of Andrew De Moray | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
and Wallace because nobody knew what they looked like. I thought I would | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
try to interpret it from all the knowledge you could ask. All six of | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
the designs will remain on display until the end of February, at which | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
point they hope to have chosen the winner. As for the actual one and, | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
they hope it will be here on this site by the anniversary of the | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Battle in 2017. Here's Chris to tell | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
us what we can expect The snow has clearly arrived, can | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
you solve the problem that David and the cameraman | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
it looked like wet snow to me. After all that rain in the last few days, | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
snow has caused issues today especially in the south of the | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
country. This band of rain and snow working north, six hours later than | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
we had forecast, causing issues on the road although it is fading away. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
This is one of the pictures sent in by a weather watchers seen in the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Borders early on. Once that rain and snow clears our Tej will be on the | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
ice. We have eight Met Office yellow warning in force overnight. The rain | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
clearing away, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth Dundee, and then clear, cold, | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
frosty, and indeed I see. AV patches of light rainfall Caithness, | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Northern Aberdeen, elsewhere, look at the temperatures, the coldest | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
spots across the north-east, maybe -5 minus six. For tomorrow a try and | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
foremost, some icy patches, light rain across the far north and in | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
south again wet weather arriving and moving north, potentially some wet | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
snow to lower levels, mainly rain, especially in towns and cities. By | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
mid-afternoon improving in the South, called with some writers | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
coming through airshow, to the north that snow still with us a game, | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
difficult driving conditions at times. To the north-west, dryer, a | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
few showers, breezy around northern coasts, some sunshine for Shetland. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
If you are hill walking or climbing on Western ranges, a dry start, | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
expect wintry showers through the course of the day, generally sunny | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
around Skye. A dry start a round the Cairngorms, those easterly winds | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
freshening. In the south-west and begins as south-easterly, veering | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
south, was five, forceful, good visibility. Around the Firth of | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
Forth, a straight easterly, four, six, moderate seas, moderate | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
visibility. Towards the evening we begin to see another band of rain | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
arriving in the south, marching north and hitting the north-east. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
Another yellow warning, particularly for those areas prone to flooding | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
way we have seen is a much devastation in the last couple of | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
days. Low pressure still here on Sunday, still some rain, likeliest | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
the heaviest of it across the north-west. Elsewhere, dryer, a few | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
showers, it will be cold and the wind will get stronger around the | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
north and the north-west thank you. A reminder of the | :27:00. | :27:09. | |
headlines, two severe flood warnings, risk to life, remain in | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
place around north-east Scotland, dozens of people have had to leave | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
their homes in parts of Aberdeenshire after rivers | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
overflowed due to heavy rain. Health experts and charities in Scotland | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
are welcoming new guidelines for safe drinking. It is now recommended | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
that men and women drink no more than 14 units a week with Sunday's | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
alcohol free. A dramatic reduction for men. | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
I'll be back with the headlines in the late bulletin just | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team, right | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
She can marry if she likes, but she'll be unhappy if she does. | :27:50. | :28:00. |
