There has been major flash-flooding in parts of Perthshire.
The worst affected areas are Crieff, Kinross, Scone and Milnathort.
The Met Office issued a flash flood warning at 9.30am on Monday. Since then there have been over 30 separate incidents reported to Tayside Fire and Rescue.
Milnathort has suffered severe flooding several times in the recent past. It was devastated in December 2006 when a £500,000 flood defence scheme failed. In May there were renewed claims from local MSPs that flood prevention systems in the town were inadequate.

A reader from Bonnygate in Cupar, Fife, shows the extent of the flooding.
A landslip at Luncarty has reportedly affected road and railway lines in the area and there have been numerous reports of lightning strikes across Perthshire. However, Tayside Police have reported no casualties.
Balado in Kinross will host T in the Park this weekend. Organisers say conditions underfoot at the site are “not great”, but are not concerned about it going ahead as scheduled.
The Met Office warning states that the severe weather could continue until 8pm on Monday.
