Storms battered Tayside and Fife on Sunday night and Monday morning.

Roads across the region are flooded, with emergency services working to clear them, and a yellow weather warning remains in place.

The wild weather has also led to power cuts and train delays.

Here is a selection of images showing the disruption in parts of Courier country.
