Opposition parties have called on Scottish ministers to set out how they will spend millions of pounds of funding to help flood-hit communities.
The UK Government announced last month that £50 million has been made available to help those affected by the severe weather, with the Scottish Government receiving a £5 million share.
The north-east of Scotland has been hit by heavy rain, causing severe disruption to travel, the evacuation of homes in some parts of Aberdeenshire, and two severe flood warnings for Inverurie and Kintore.
It follows flooding across other parts of the country, including Tayside and the Borders, as a result of Storm Frank.
The Scottish Conservatives have lodged a request for a full ministerial statement from Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead on how the Scottish Government plans to fund flood relief.
The party is also calling for clarity on whether Scottish ministers intend to set up a Farming Recovery Fund to help with short-term damage to soil, tracks and flood channels.
Tory MSP Alex Fergusson said: “The floods are having a devastating effect on families, individuals and businesses across Scotland, and it’s been a really miserable time for those who have been affected.
“Enough of the bluff and bluster – ministers really need to be explaining what’s going on. They are in charge and they have a responsibility to act.
“Councils are struggling with a lack of funding for future flood defences and farmers are still waiting for support cash months after the SNP promised it.
“This is why we’re calling for a full ministerial statement to the Scottish Parliament.
“The Scottish Government must explain what is going on and how they intend to spend funds which are needed to help people right now.”
Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Alison McInnes said: “After the Scottish Government’s resilience meeting last night, the Deputy First Minister said the committee was monitoring the situation very closely. But people here do not need ministers who are glued to their seats.
“The Deputy First Minister telling us additional funding will be made available to Aberdeenshire Council is welcome in the longer term.
“But this is an ever-changing emergency situation that requires urgent attention right now, and people here are wondering when the Scottish Government is going to sit up and take notice.”
Labour Group leader on Aberdeenshire Council Alison Evison said: “This situation is desperate for families in Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen.
“More families have been out of their home overnight and not able to return. Areas of Aberdeenshire have been suffering serious flooding for days now and recovery and relief work has continued throughout this time.
“The SNP Government need to take action swiftly to help communities and to help all affected businesses and infrastructure across flooded areas.
“It’s also clear that, given the scale of flooding across Scotland, we need a review to ensure resilience of our flooding infrastructure, so we can better protect homes, businesses and communities in the future.”
