on the BBC News Channel. I'm back with the News at Ten. Now it's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Householders in the South West and Ayrshire are counting | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
the cost of flooding caused by yesterday's heavy rain. Families who | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
were evacuated from their homes have been returning to assess the damage. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Catriona Renton has been to Dumfries and Galloway. The flooding was so | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
bad on Sam's farm yesterday that he and his four young children had to | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
be air-lifted out as the fire service couldn't reach them. Today | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
he is counting the cost. It is bad enough that it has knocked around | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
100 metres offence down. - offence down. At its height the water is six | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
foot high. How far has it gone down? Maybe four and a half or five foot. | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
I have lost three sheep. Two were in lamb ewes. But they seem to be | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
calming down now in the shed. Probably happier to get out of the | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
weather than anything. Yesterday we showed you flooding in one village. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
This was the River Nith. But what a difference a day make, the waters | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
have dropped, but there is heavy rain forecast here over the next few | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
days and locals say they're take nothing chances and making sure | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
they're prepared for the worst. Yesterday, the water had come right | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
up over the wall at this house. This was all covered in water. What | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
happened? The water came right up to the wall and it knocked it over. 30 | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
houses were evacuated yesterday. The whole ground floor of William's | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
house was flooded. You have just got to get on with it. You have just got | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
to tidy up as you go along. Tonight most people are back in their homes | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
and the village Hogmanay partive is on tonight. But what a start to the | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
year for those dealing with the fallout. A 32-year-old man has | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
appeared in court charged with murdering his wife and young son in | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Midlothian. Garry Lockhart is accused of killing 29-year-old Janet | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Lockhart, along with her two-year-old son, Michael. Their | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
bodies were found at a house in Bonnyrigg on Saturday evening. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Lockhart made no plea or declaration when he appeared at Edinburgh | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Sheriff court and was remanded in custody. The New Year is just over | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
five hours away and the countdown is on for Scotland's biggest street | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
party. Around 80,000 people are expected to crowd into Edinburgh's | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Princes Street and our reporter Rob Flett is there tonight. That's | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
right, at 11. 20 The Pet Shop Boys will be taking the stage. The events | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
are sold out. But there are still some street party tickets left, if | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
you can get here before the gates shut at 9. The weather is drizzly, | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
but mostly it is due to be calm and clear. So wrap up warm and get here | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
early. Are there fireworks in store for the crowd? Yes, there are five | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
firework displays before the bells at midnight. The first is due in | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
just over an hour. That is to mark the start of Scotland's home-coming. | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
It is the same display as we saw at the end of the display last night. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
If you live in Stirling and Inverness, you will also be able to | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
see that display and in Stonehaven, that display will go off after | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
midnight. But wherever you are tonight, have a great evening. Thank | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
you. An expert on cereals and brewing is heading a list of Scots | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
being recognised in the New Year Honours. Professor Geoffrey Palmer | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
has been knighted for services to science, human rights and charity. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Also recognised is one of the country's best known chefs and food | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
writers, as Kevin Keane reports. For one recipient a celebratory feast is | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
on the cards after receiving an OBE, lady Claire Macdonald is a | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
passionate advocate of Scottish produce. I'm not a born Scot, I'm | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
only married to one. So everything I say about Scotland and particularly | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
the food does come from the heart and it isn't immodest, icht is a | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
very honest observation. Geoff Palmer is made a Sir. He was | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Scotland's first black professor and took the traditional brewing process | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
and reduced it by days. If the process took nine days, then what | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
the abrasion process did was reduced it to seven. That allowed companies | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
to make a lot more malt per year than they would otherwise make. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Because they were saving two days. Among the many charity workers, this | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
28-year-old organisers of the relay for life event in Petehead. She | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
began fund-raising aged 15. The researchers at cancer research are | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
doing incredible work and that motivates me to keep going. I also | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
sadly lost my aunt in August and that is a reminder that we have to | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
keep going. More than 100 people in Scotland have been honoured. Let's | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
find out what the weather has in store for the bells and beyond and | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Gillian Smart is at the map. find out what the weather has in | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
store for the If you're out celebrating for the first part of | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
tonight, you will need your brolly, but after that it does improve and | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
by midnight most places will be dry, but chilly. This is the picture from | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
7 o'clock. Still some showers, including the odd heavy one. They | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
were be confined mostly to the north-west and elsewhere it will be | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
dry. But chilly with temperatures at three Celsius in Glasgow. And colder | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
in Inverness and Aberdeen and still some showers in the Western Isles | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
with winds touching gale force. Inland winds will be light. We head | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
into the new year and a familiar story. More weather warnings from | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
the Met Office tomorrow. The day will start fine, but we will see | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
rain pushing up from the south and it will turn heavy, particularly | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
over southern and central Scotland we could see further issues with | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
flooding and winds strengthening too. Temperatures six or so Celsius | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
and it will feel colder in the wind. Difficult conditions if you're | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
travelling with surface water and spray. We head into Thursday and the | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
best day of the week, dry and bright with sunshine and just a scattering | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
of showers. Mainly in the west. For Friday, another low pressure system | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
pushes many bringing more wet and windy weather our way. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Good evening. It looks like mother nature may provide her own | :07:32. | :07:45. | |
pyrotechnics in the run-up to bid night tonight. We have some heavy | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
showers in western parts, starting to ease a bit across Scotland | :07:52. | :07:52. |
