Flooding has hit parts of Scotland after the country was battered by heavy rain.

On Wednesday parts of Perthshire and Fife were among the worst affected, while the weather caused travel disruption on roads and rail.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain in the Strathclyde, Edinburgh, Tayside and Highland regions overnight.

This comes after the downpour caused localised flooding, as well as landslips that halted trains in Oban and Rosyth.

In response to the continued rain forecast, which is expected to ease in the early hours of Thursday, the Met Office warned "the public should be aware of the risk of further localised flooding and poor driving conditions at times."

Traffic Scotland stated that motorists on roads across central Scotland, including Stirling and parts of Perthshire, should "exercise extra caution" in response to surface water in the region.

The Scottish Government agency also warned of an "increased risk of landslide" at the A83 Rest and be Thankful, which has been forced to close twice in the past year by landslips.

Flooding has also been recorded on part of the M90 between Masterton and Admiralty in Fife.
