Perthshire was the part of Courier Country most badly affected by Tuesday’s flooding.

A night of torrential rain on Monday left rivers full to bursting, with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency issuing flood warnings on 16 stretches of water in Tayside.

Conditions have been slightly better on Wednesday, but flood warnings remain in place (link) and high winds are forecast for the rest of the week.

Driving conditions were poor throughout much of western Perthshire on Tuesday as roads struggled to cope with the deluge.

At MacRosty Park in Crieff heavy rain and subsidence caused a wall to fall down on the A85, with a Scotland Transerv Team called out to address the damage.

Driving in and around communities such as Muthill and Auchterarder was also difficult.

Heavy rain fell across Fife throughout the day and caution was required on many roads but no serious incidents were reported.

The central belt and west of Scotland were the worst affected, however, with drivers told to avoid the Stirling area if at all possible.

In Glasgow 1.4in (35mm) of rain fell on Monday evening, making it the wettest place in Scotland, while around 1in (26mm) of rain fell in Strathallan, near Stirling.

Brendan Jones, a forecaster with Meteo-Group, said the rain was caused by mild winds coming off the Atlantic, bringing a lot of moisture in their wake.

He said Scotland could only look forward to worsening weather in the coming week, predicting winds of between 75mph and 80mph for the north of the country.
