Thousands of sandbags have been given to householders in parts of Scotland on Friday to help stop flood water caused by heavy rain.
Water levels were starting to fall in the Scottish Borders, where the sandbags have been distributed, but forecasters said more rain would fall on Saturday across Scotland.
Meanwhile Eskdalemuir, near Dumfries, received almost a month's rainfall in the 36 hours to 6am on Friday, with 122mm falling in the area.
Roads were closed and power supplies disrupted when the River Nith burst its banks following the deluge with the Whitesands area of Dumfries the worst hit.
By 1pm on Friday, Dumfries and Galloway Council said it had also handed out 2,450 sandbags to those who needed help against the floods.
Dumfries and Galloway Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Lockerbie, Annan and Dumfries were involved in weather-related call outs but the number had not increased since high tide at around 2.30pm on Friday.
In the Borders, several homes were flooded in Ettrick and Yarrow and four primary schools in the area were shut. Trains in central and northern areas, meanwhile, were disrupted and two drivers became trapped on water-logged roads in the Strathclyde area.
Jeremy Purvis, MSP for Tweeddale, Ettrick and Lauderdale in the Borders, said: "I have seen for myself the broken banks of the Tweed in the Tweed Valley and the impact flooding has already had on the farmland and some properties in the area.
"I have been in contact with Scottish Borders Council and commend the ongoing close attention that is being given."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Borders Council said water levels were falling on Friday afternoon and some flooded roads had reopened. She said: "Scottish Borders Council and its partner agencies remain on high alert as more rain is predicted for Saturday afternoon.
"Thousands of sandbags have been issued by the council to help householders protect their properties and 'self help' flood groups set up in at-risk areas have proved to be very effective, particularly in Selkirk and Hawick, with group members helping to ensure each other's properties are protected and that everyone in the group is fully aware of the flood risk."
At 4.20pm on Friday, there were two severe flood warnings for the River Earn from downstream of Crieff to Bridge of Earn and the River Isla from Bridge of Ruthven to the River Tay. There were also nine flood warnings in place across Scotland including The River Tweed from Kelso to Coldstream and The River Tay from Dunkeld to Perth, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) website.
The Scottish Government said emergency services had responded well to the floods and had offered to assist their colleagues in Cumbria.
Meanwhile, the widow of a hero police constable swept away when a bridge collapsed in floods in Cumbria has paid a moving tribute to her husband. Pc Bill Barker, 44, fell into the River Derwent when the bridge he was standing on in Workington collapsed.
